These are the final results:
http://www.tybee500.com/results/1/original/09_tybee_results.pdf I still don't think we have found a good explanation why the F18s did so well.
I heard some people mention the light conditions but the F18 is not known for its light wind performance (not more than the N20 anyway).
Any ideas?
In no real order....
The F18's did have the better of the angles as at times they could carry their kites and the 20's could not.
The ratings are 7% different (roughly) and how much MORE talent does it take to get the last 10% out of the boat? A fair bit. How much MORE talent does it take to get the last 5%
And finally, and I've no idea if this might be real, but routing. Did Mischa sail shorter distances as well?
Shame all the boats did not have trackers, it would have been interesting to see the real distance travelled by all boats.
