Western Long Island Sound is at 111. That puts us level with the J-92 and X-99 in the fleet. Frankly with both of them it's a trade-off. We are better in moderately heavy wind, while they are better in light air. That is also part of the basis of the rating - being a heavier boat, we have a higher rating in the Western LIS where winds typically run lighter than in the Eastern LIS where I believe the rating is 3 seconds per mile faster.
Don't get me wrong - give me the extra seconds and I will take them! We just have to justify results against other boats with similar ratings, having equally good crews and equally good equipment.
In my case, I usually have more difficulty with the other Frers-33 than the X-99!
