I think that without a min. weight sailors without a $$ limit would displace us that do not have unlimited resources. I agree that as the class progresses, we should leave the option open for an unlimited version of the class.
I also belive that in order to keep it as close as possible while still being a developmental class, a max. beam should be in place. Otherwise we will need to come up with a handicap system just to keep people interested. I think that this would still leave the class rules very open for development. With length = $$, I think this class has great potential to bring fresh blood and brains into the design/ development of small cat-sailing, and perhaps help revive garage built boats and rip the trophies from high dollar mass production shops.
