What I mean by this..
1. Are they going out on the weekends practicing against another singlehander or better yet another two up boat.
2. Are they racing on a consistent basis singlehanding?


Yes on #2, but only occasionally on #1 - the latter mainly for logistical reasons. It's just difficult to get to the lake and get set up/break down for one day at a time. So I end up mostly sailing at regattas. I've done a little bit of training in the past couple of years with other F16s (Dan Feldman, Tom Hoscheidt), and a little this year with some non-F16 teams.

Sailing singlehanded is hard work and I regularly embarrass myself, but it doesn't stop me from loving it.
