mal gray Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 I believe Bundy is on a Tiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsailor.net Posted July 25, 2002 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 I thought Bundy was sailing for Nacra - must have swapped camps. What boats are the rest in the top 10 sailing. I thought the Dart and others may have had a few boats in the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mal gray Posted July 26, 2002 Report Share Posted July 26, 2002 In a deliberate move, the F18 assoc doesn't state the types of boats being sailed. I guess it reduces manufacturer's leverage and desire to use the results as an advertising platform. There is usually a fair spread of manufacturers thru the fleet. It wll be the best sailors who win. The boats are all similar and the rules will only allow similar boats. Its as fair as you can get without going strict one-design.

catsailor.net Posted July 26, 2002 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2002 Mal, And that must be the reason Hobie pay so much to have professionals like Mitch Colby and now Bundy sail their boats. I think the saying for Motor racing is win on sunday sell on Monday ! I personally would find it more interesting knowing what type of Boat they are sailing - similar to the Ford vs Holden that you have in V8 supercars. Try and take the badges off those cars and see who keeps watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mal gray Posted July 28, 2002 Report Share Posted July 28, 2002 It seems our source was wrong. Bundy was indeed on a Nacra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
