You don't even know what a sailing race course looks like, or how one
gets
arund it. All he'd do is more tacks on the upwind legs - and then
thrash the
monohulls on the reaches and downwind legs.


That thing tacks like a bufallo for one. Second, he's not thrashing
anyone unless he has conditions and wind to do it. The better pointing
boat is the better performing boat. So it has been and always shall be.
Tacks on the upwind even in reasonably fair conditions off a 10 degree
deficit? Do you know how that would effect his VMG versus a high
pointing monohull? And what of the more common light air?
PDQ 36 is a cruiser with a very fast off the wind ability, but a
performance boat it aint.
