Bandits!

   Which class do you think has the dodgiest handicap? Until recently I'd have said Phantom, but I'm looking suspiciously at Scorpions now. :p

	Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer.

	International canoe i reckon is a bit shifty especially if its wind with tide. Foiling moth for sure, assuming no capsizes.

	You wouldn't say the IC had a generous handicap if you'd spent the day chasing RS600s in light shifty winds in one like I have...

	A lot of boats are bandits in certain conditions. The Phantom & Wayfarer in lightish airs, the Canoe in F.3+. Generally hiking boats do well for their h'caps in lighter winds, trap boats in stronger. But there are some boats that are always bridesmaids, the Tasar and L2000 for example - too undercanvassed to compete witht a Wayfarer in the light stuff, not enough righting moment to take on the trap boats in a blow... Might include the RS400 there?

	Topper Topaz Tres. Fully battened main, asymmetric, trapeze and 60 kg hull. All this and a PY of 1190 which makes it slower than a Firefly. I just can't understand why I never see any ?
