Ok, so again I am reminded of a what a wise man once told me about arguing on the internet....

Good luck with it guys, I look forward to seeing 100 plus fleets in the near future and everyone competing happily with a mix of carbon and alloy masts, beams etc... All boats will be made by Buddhist monks out of hand grown sheets of plywood and nobody will complain when someone turns up with a set of 3DL carbon sails....
