I would have to think(and from my own experience) as the wave approaches to form a crest with the two models of cat experiencing the same exact conditions that the 20's longer and heavier bow's would arc it over the back of the wave and make ready for the next set,so I'm not, buying that one Jake. With the emphasis on the point system then should not be broken down even further ie. 5 boats of 15 get offshore Boat A holds the lead and wins,Boat B is 2nd, Boat C has to come ashore with problems and can not continue.D passes C but also breaks down but ahead of C and Boat E gets third.Does D and C get points respectively for at least making an attempt at the leg. Uh Oh, or do you just start handicapping the skipper and crew like golf......
