Matt is so good, its really hard to tell anything about any boat he is on. The men were amazed, and said, "What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?" Matthew 8:27

Matt's straight line boat speed was great, especially upwind. Randy was also very qucik and seemed to have an edge downwind over the entire fleet. Hartwell is a very tough place to measure performance. Presure lines and playing the shifts was the name of the game. However when the boats got together we were able to make some observations about boat speed. Overall the LR3 seems like a promising concept and should certainly be competitive with other designs in the fleet. Thanks to Nigel for a great time as always and for lending me his Boyer for the weekend! -Chris
