[quote=shortyfox][quote]PS i have had my clocked cleaned repeatedly by a 70 year old fart on a 30 year old stock 5.0 g-cat[/quote]
It sounds like he's talking about me. My G-Cat is over 30 yrs old and I'm 69. The sailing club to which I belong has a handful of F-18s which go out most late afternoons. I know their boats are faster, point higher and with spinnakers forget down wind. However on a beam reach I can keep up pretty good keeping in mind I paid 2k for my G-Cat and all I've done to it is add new sails. Simply put, every thing being equal, I think that the biggest common denominator for speed in modern beach cats is size. There is of course a difference but it is so small that skill level or one verses two on the boat will easily make a difference. When you're blasting along can you really tell the difference between 18 and 18.5 kts?[/quote]
