My opinion stands that we should have EP do some R&D on there sails, and allow Performance Sails to be sold and used in the U.S (which the CURRENT, ONLINE rules don't SPECIFICALLY ban). This makes it a two sail maker market, i.e, introduces some competition which can help lower prices and drive quality, eliminates some R&D money by another sail maker/manufacturer/the class, and at the end of the day we get two potential suits of sails that are faster than the current set.
See if you can sell that to Peter . . .
It WON"T lower prices because they are still using the factory as the middle man.They are both under factory control. You won't be buying them from EP unless it's opened. You will be buying EP sails from the factory with a markup for that service.
