The G-Cat brochure was probably quoting a "provisional" DPN that the 5.7 was assigned when it was introduced. Portsmouth numbers are actually created by US Sailing using reported race results. Since the G-Cat 5.7 wasn't produced that long, and was never largely picked up by hotshot racers, there are probably few reported races in the Portsmouth records to base a rating on, and in those races the G-Cat was beaten by the more widespread Hobie 18 and Nacra 5.2.
that doesn't "necessarily" mean that the 5.7 is slower (and certainly not by much if it is) than those boats, only that the ones that sailed in reported races finished behind those boats.[/quote]
Thanks, yeah that makes sense.[/quote]
