I hit a mark in no wind on Saturday - I suspect no one saw it, but as everyone on the lake must have heard the involuntary "oh, bloody hell", a turn was needed! Think I'd have done them anyway, as it was just sheer stupidity to hit the damn thing, and at that point a turn is really deserved.

For one thing, I live in Canada where the Blaze and all Cirrus products are about as rare as a stork in the wild.
 
Second, I just bought a Stealth so I am a sockpuppet to CL Boatworks! LOL
 
My original question was pure curiousity about the relationship of boat design to performance.  Cheers!

No problem Mike.

seriously though, your last points are very valid and imo, local adjustment of the handicapping system on a class basis is the minimum 'step forward' clubs need to adopt if they want their race offerings to improve, attract and retain racing sailors in the longer term.

 
 
Absolutely agree, and those locally adjusted results need to be returned so that the PY team can factor them in.
 
This is something I've was trying to get our club to do, but I must admit I've given it up as a lost cause.
