Reply to: Worrell 1000 team

[quote=martin_langhoff]Hi Todd! I didn't explain that well. What I meant to say is that the N20s were originally bought as foilers (N20FCS, J foils, T rudders), and had to be converted to curved foils (curved main daggerboards, straight rudders). The kit for that seemed to arrive just in time for the 3 N20s that participated. Here in Miami, I saw first hand teams drilling new holes into their transom, and hoping they were in the right place -- the straight rudders need different mounting brackets, and they go in a completely different place! This was less than 24hs before the start of the race. These teams had a ton of experience, yet they had never sailed the boat in this configuration before the start of the race. They were worried about such a last minute change, and the water-tightness of the hull after sealing old holes, etc. Because the conversion kit deliveries were unclear, a 4th N20 team dropped off. In any case, the N20 seems to me a better fit for the travails of the W1000, so I agree. Hopefully with better logistics around kit. The N20s were faster, IIRC.[/quote]
