Would be nice to see HIRO in IRC since SYC has been pushing it for so long!A.G. said:I think that was sort of the hope here Mm. That Hustler would lead the way to establishing the IRC30 group. Up until now that fleet has been comprised of couple of Bene 367's (who really belong in IRC35), a SW 42 and Ed Gaynor's Emily for the past couple of Block Island and Vineyard Races (for the most part). Personally I think John needs to take the leap and that would go a long way to getting other folks to follow suit.Remember the 29 would be the smallest slowest boat by quite a bit if it were in that class & would NEVER be in clear air. No matter how you cut it that would be a major issue & would most likley hurt the final result quite a bit regardless of the ability & speed of the Huslter team (which is very good!). The issue of being the small boat in this IRC bracket was tough for Bluto when they took on this general group at BIRW last year. Even with a MUCH faster boat than a 29 they had trouble getting clear air.Yes.Nice to see Espo did well yesterday, but would love to know how they would have done under IRC.
Can anybody figure out how they would have fared in the IRC 35 class vs. PHRF as I believe they were sailing the same course?
If they sailed the same course and distance the results would be:
Race 1 10
Race 2 1
Race 3 1
Race 4 5
Race 5 1
I'd love to see Huslter race IRC, just against boats closer in size & speed.
