Slagle:

You are saying that the SC18 mainsail is larger than 18 square meters, do I understand correctly?

If the boat is heavier, that does not make it 'illegal' for 18sq class, which is the implication I'm reading in your post. Only the oversize mainsail would cross the class legal lines. Please clarify.

thanks
