If you guys had sailed a boat with winglets you'd probably think differently. I hate that I have to agree with Mark on this but those boats do need them. Short of clearing weed/ trash from your rudders, there would be no ill effects to tuning or training and the boats would be able to be pushed harder i.e go faster and still give the opportunity for even bigger carnage. It should be about equal boats but they should also be sorted so the teams can beat each other tactically.If all they want out of multihulls is crash and burn they should have put the N-17 rig on a 14' x 7' wide platform. Would you guys be justifying that as well?

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