[quote=bacho]I think the people who have suggested just driving it are pretty accomplished sailors and have a genuine interest in helping the rest of the group become faster sailors.
For example, we had 3 XJ A cats in our group. They were all pretty similar. The fastest guy only touches the sheet and the downhaul while racing. His head is completely outside the boat and he is just sailing and winning. The slow guy has all of the toys including adjustable spreaders and is so focused on all of that crap that he is continually bringing up the rear because he's more focused on way too many little things. Based on this topic, you might think that the boat with the fancier rigging rigging is the faster one, however that would be an incorrect assumption.[/quote]
