Jimi,

Sometimes,life is not as it appears!

Mention that topic to anyone who has raced against the H16 sailors from Puerto Rico.....they will most certianly smile and tell you a story or 10!

The boat [ and handicap] is one thing,..the brains behind it is another thing.

For example, in this years St. Thomas Rolex, in one race, a H16 non spin beat a I20 Spin on corrected time [..ok,..the H16 was a current World Champ, Kiki Figeruoa].

..however, in the regatta, in a particular race, the same h16 skipper/boat was beat, on corrected time, by a St. Croix 1992 N 5.8 [ Doug Derue and Jay ],...which is kinda historic for us..:-)

...point being,...put a good skipper on any boat.....!

..or..

...put a so-so skipper on any boat....!
