Answer is easy as I see it . Go ahead and the split the class( it's dead anyway) and have a "N-20OD" (not SMOD a.k.a. moneygrab) and start fresh with a new provisional number which is more inline with other performance boats out there.
With the results being what they have been, the number should be far closer, if not higher, than the F-18 number than it is. Which one is wrong?
How many regattas have a legit N-20 class now?
And Tad, just remember "people in glass houses..." You better read your class rules very carefully before you make your stand. I am glad you still like the Kool-aid Trey makes for you.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
