Oh wait the 2nd one's got a spinnaker as well, yet still it's slower.
How on earth would a logical system work that out.

Once again b**locks at work at the PYAG.

You conveniently forgot to mention that the 2nd one is a Vareo which, TBF, does not have a reputation as a thoroughbred racing machine...

Anyway, my 'tail end Charlie' antics in the Blaze are paying off, +6 this year...  LOL

The two boats are 'Vareo' and 'Streaker'. Edit to add, boat is 'Solution'.

Because there is more to a boat than the cherry picked stats you've given. Perhaps the second boat is heavier, has a bit of a poorly designed rig and can't use the extra sail area very well on many types of water because it is too narrow for the extra power?

Well, yes, of course they did. There would have been far fewer results coming in to them. If they'd made wholesale changes, people on here would be screaming blue murder. But then, it's pretty obvious that "they" simply cannot win.
