Cary,
I hope that I am not going to be the yardstick for validating claims of relative speed between the F16s and the F18s
No worries Mate.
If I were the Yardstick for Catspeed, The world would not think Catamarans were nearly so fast. I lost a race last year on a Nacra 5.8 to a 80 pound 14 year old girl on a Raider!
Of course she's the champion,and the wind was about two miles an hour. (Cats just just don't sail DDW.)
