I'll repeat.
Not a HCA event. Not changing our class rules.
I am against the spi for our class.
The ISAF womens was already sailed on a H16 with spin a few years back.
If the Hobie Cat company wants to provide boats with a spi, a set of wings, an add on center board and a third trap for your flying monkey for a NON-HCA event I don't see why the HCA should even be involved.
I know what the Alter cup rules say.
Perception matters, and HCA has not been perceived well.

On the flip side if Chris, Pat and Matt chose to say no the the question, I would support that to.
I always go back to the Camel being a Horse built by committee.
