I'm just repeating what some of the college racers have told me. With a
420 they can pull in front of an opponent and put on the brakes. That
maneuver is less effective in a JY.

And some or these generalizations about specific

at (or near) the top.
As with any one design, tactics and boat handling
are what always win.

And here I thought it was the lucky wind shift that mattered. (c:
