H-17 being competative?..........Tom proved it t me,......the ratings put the H-16, H-17 , FX1 and !-17n real close,....so that was the 'race within a race', so to speak......

..plus the h-16's from Puerto Rico are all top notch teams (....yes, Puerto Rico is apart of the USA, as much as any other USA state, except they cannot vote in the presidential election..)
...point being,...this H-17 was right up with the PR H-16 every race,......so, the boat is definately competative in coastal or offshore races (...within its own realm)

....as always,...it is whose hand is on the tiller..
