Some time in the front of whatever you're racing will CERTAINLY help. It means that you can focus on what is actually happening around you a bit more rather than keeping the mast in the sky... Get your bearings a bit first (upwind and downwind angles etc), then go for it! |

The photo on the homepage of the Mirror blasting downwind looks like High Performance to me.

planing upwind must come into the equation somewhere.

Is an RS 300 high performance? Certainly difficult to sail, but very slow compared to a 49er, which in turn is very slow compared to a record beaking windsurfer, which is slow compared to a racing powerboat, which is slow compared to a world record breaking powerboat. Does that mean they are all high performance, or just the fastest of all? |

I don't actually think speed round the track is that great a measure of high performance. A 90ft cruising yacht will go a lost faster than most dinghies round a suitably large course in most conditions, but it isn't a high performance boat... I'm not brave enough to suggest a definition though!

When its honking probably not, but VERY close the rest of the time, downwind the cherubs pull away, but upwind 29er/4k etc will catch up a hell of lot. anyway..... |

PT of 908 for the 4K, 970 for the Cherub (i think). Definitely needs changing!.

If you can't carry it, don't sail it! |

4k will beat a fair few cherubs on the water, even the odd 05 rules one. |
