Can you explain why Mistral, a Beneteau 35s5 has the following race
record?

Overall Winner of SE Florida PHRF Championship series 2002
Overall Winner, Regatta Time in Abacos 2003
Overall Winner, Hospice Regatta 2002
Numerous 1st place trophies in Biscayne Bay Yacht Racing Association
races and regattas, second overall 2003
Third place trophy at Key West Race Week 2003

She's a part time raced boat and has beaten your beloved Express 35
boat for boat. How could this happen?

RB

NY



Five letters Bob: PHRF C

Know what the "C" means?

Has anyone else noticed that almost every 35s5 victory that RB cites
is actually the same boat and skipper. No doubt he is a talented
skipper and has a good crew. In addition, I've seen this boat
showcased by a major rigger as being completely tricked out. This
doesn't imply that it the Bene is a great boat, it implies that a
talented skipper with deep pockets can beat his rating.
