[quote=john_williams]hi brett - i absolutely think the F18 is robust enough. chirs' boat had some previous hull damage that he hadn't completely repaired. other than that, i think he had a number of lines on the boat that were well suited to buoy racing, but not the Worrell - he replaced a lot of that along the way. for example, he had a positive rotation system on 16mm blocks that were on like 2mm (smaller?) line - that stuff gave out quick and was quickly replaced with bigger line that wasn't fed through just-big-enough holes on the jib track. keep in mind that once he got through somewhere around tybee, he had no additional issues - the hull had been properly patched and rigging had been replaced. check out his facebook feed for a good day-by-day.[/quote]
