[quote=MN3][quote]Sorry but there is no comparison between modern Formula boats and the 70's designed Hobies[/quote]
Agreed
however .... every boat has it's day
and as the OP stated... he was beating up on an F20 with an ancient 18
WELL DONE! :prost:
PS i have had my clocked cleaned repeatedly by a 70 year old fart on a 30 year old stock 5.0 g-cat
I sail a loaded down 5.5 mystere (basically a f18) he was outsailing me taking advantage of every trick in the book to beat me back to shore (5 miles)
his 50 years of catamaran sailing and building experience trumped my 20 years of cat sailing
his boat could sail in shallower waters, and his boat weight was a few 100 less than mine
as i said, every boat has it's optimal wind and weight range - add skills and the better sailor will probably prevail<!-- editby --><em>Edited by MN3 on Oct 18, 2019 - 09:04 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
