... the Blade is fast fast fast. Matt and Gina ... beating Nacra 20s and F-18s boat-for-boat. That is the good news. ... watch for the F-16 number to drop.

. . .But as the first boat in their class to cross the finish line, their's are the numbers that will be used in the next revisions.

Using that logic, shouldn't the number also come down for the F18 and Nacra 20?

congrats Olli !!!!! Capricorn is looking well ... Doug
