Ah, Bob, don't know how to break the news to you, but the reason these
guys
with the "slow" older boats do so well on Wednesday night is that
they've
owned their boats for years


Ah, joe with the sad sorry Catalina 28....my friend wins with her
Catalina 30 (owned ONE season) because it's EASY to sail it to it's
rating. Same for the Ericson 32 my friends sail. In both cases they are
less experienced than some of the crews on faster boats that are
battling with ratings culled from professional crewed boats over the
years.
You truly have no clue. And I must sadly say that your choice in boats
is further proof of that. Who the hell buys a Catalina 28?

35s5...a boat with all the trimmings!
