With this in mind, if all things are equal, if all the sailors are equal sailing ability, and if you have a choice of racing one-design in a fleet of 10 boats or racing in an open-class fleet of 10 boats, which would most people choose?
Honestly I would race in an open fleet of 10 spi equipped sloop rigged boats than in a fleet of 10 optimists or 10 Dart 18's. The last two type of boats don't give me enough enjoyment to put in the effort of dragging the baot over and rigging it. Besides I'm to heavy and too big for both anyway so all I do is come in at the back anyway. I don't particulary enough chastizing myself in that way. Than I rather be blasting along under spi.
