Next year just give the trophy to Mischa ahead of time.
Not too quick on that...
Next time we can have some more of the Hobie Tiger guys again, since Greg and Jacques, Enrique and many others who couldn't make it due to the conflict with the Hobie 16 Worlds.
I heard he was going to do the Canadian Nationals next year as well. I have his mailing address if you'd like to send the trophy ahead of time.
But...have any of those guys ever beaten him?
Mischa will own pretty much anyone...I've seen it firsthand, all over the world.
That was two years ago - Mischa has been extensively training and on the couple of occasions at last year's NA's that I had a bead on him, it was incredible what he could do to maneuver a cat. After chasing him in last year's Tybee, it was awe inspiring.
I don't intend to take anything away from anybody that races these things - but from what I've seen, Mischa is on a different plane than anyone I've been racing in the US right now. He's continuing to spend tons of time on the boats and is not getting slower.
Word from the water a few minn ago is Misha first and Tomko second again.

How about posting the type of boat with the results?
It's not permitted as per International F18 class rules. The class decided a long time ago to eliminate any areas of manufacturer bias within the class and class events.
You can generally tell from the sail numbers which type boat it is.
4 digit numbers = Tiger
3 digit numbers = Nacra
2 digit numbers = Capricorn
It's just an observation and there are exceptions.
