Rick, Bjorn;

If one was gonna race, or even fast play, a Bucketlist, would not it be easy to have added a simple water ballast to be able to put more weight to ww, as needed, to push the boat?

It seems to me to derate the boat when there are simple easy well known ways to help it reach more of it's potential is inaccurate, or unfair.

Am I wrong? Is it not like talking about the performance of a cat without a jib? Because you cannot know what jib a person would use?
