[quote=nofearofflying]There was little or no wind, races were shortened to account for low wind conditions, larger sails were available . Ted Turner after winning the Americas Cup bought a Hobie 16 and practiced and entered a regatta, but finished last. Perhaps Ted should have read the monthly Hobie magazine(no internet then), or read a few books written by cat sailors? I always check the 3 wind apps on my iphone when I rig and my weather sites BEFORE i go to my cat for safety and to determine what sails I will utilize. In Dart 18 discussions on this site I bring up the small size of Dart 18 sails and that I run up a Prindle 16 or Hobie 16 jib on low wind days. THE NEW YORK YAUGHT CLUB WOULD NEVER visit this site but they should for a myriad of reasons, but a little humor is OK[/quote]
