surely if he wins it proves his boat is good enough?

If he wins it will prove it is good enough for a sailor of Jo's talent to win with.

Jo is a very good sailor and could win with a slow boat ... but I have no doubt the boat is good too ....

No ... but that was a vintage boat and he wasn't far off the pace.

My comments were a compliment to Jo ... with his new creation I am sure he will be a force to be reconed with ...

I'm loving the way Jo has gone for the layers look in his sailing attire!
the same, but different...

He had three firsts and a second going into the Burton, so I suspect he'll have taken the Silver National too. Final day today, with 2 races scheduled.

Fantastic; well Jo's return to the class in his own self designed & built boat has been pretty impressive ... he just needs to now lend his boat to a mortal to see if they can make it go equally fast ...
