Box Rule:
<br>Max Length: 20ft.
<br>Max Width: 8 1/2ft.
<br>Max Mast Height: 32ft.
<br>Max Main/Jib sailarea: ??? I20 equivilent
<br>Max Chute Sailarea ??? I20 equivilent.
<br>
<br>Possible to grandfather in boats that exceed the limits on the main and jib sail area such as the 6.0s, H20, P19, .... We would grandfather in these boats based on Texel Rating, Portsmouth rating, and experience as to how they would perform.
<br>
<br>I hope that explains what I meant by box rule.
<br>
<br>Any of the boats we talked about could be made to fit under either school of thought with or without modifications depending on each owners preference. Remember this is to include as many boats as possible.
<br>
<br>Personally, I think we would have to exclude only the wide beam boats such as the Supercat 22 and Tornado (unless they bought 8 1/2 ft. beams for the Tornado).
<br>
<br>These are two very distinctly different schools of thought. It would be interesting to hear which school people thought had more merit.
