Nathan's comment picked up by the onboard mike at the end of race 5 "Jeez this boat's fast".

Maybe no such thing as one design racing.

Agree Mr. K, a lot of personal setup and dailing in goes into any boat. The yard tries hard to ship identical products & then competitive people do their thing finding percentage gains... Didn't hear it from me.
Go AUS, a good weekend on the water

I watched the replay of both days.

That was some amazing racing. About as good as it gets really. Huge dramas, amazing comebacks, and almost mades. I have to give it to "the sailor that won the event", he's got a really talented way of staying just out of trouble (albeit someone likes giving him trouble) and sailing a very clean race, sometimes off to the side of the stage. Or so it seems. Deserved the win.

I noticed they were hitting speeds juuust under 50 knots. ****in' hell.
