Hi Carl

Take the I20 and the NE Nacra 6.0... which boat would the pro's choose to win the elapsed time trophy?

If those sailors put 1/2 the money on each boat then I would agree that the grandfather formula is percieved as fair.

Otherwise, I think you have an uneven playing field and additional tweaks are needed. In this game, perception of which is faster will be reality because the pro's will lead the pack.

Take Care
