Hi Steve,
<br>
<br>I'm beginning to think that you just don't get it.
<br>You're boggling my mind with your arguments.
<br>
<br>Do you not understand the concept of iF20 and iF18 ?
<br>
<br>We are not thinking of anything different from this, just a slight variation in the actual sailarea to weight and the ONLY reason here is because of the difference of sail area on the NA Inter 20 with the Eu version.
<br>
<br>I am not sure what you are afraid of. According to many, including myself, it seems like the heavier crews will always have a slight advantage with such a system. This should make you happy.
<br>
<br>The concept has always been first to finish wins.
<br>
<br>You talk about cheating ?? This can be done under any system including one design. You talk about bringing the weight tolerance down to 40-50(probably higher in reality). The Formula system can bring it down to 20 (there is no limit here). Give the officials and the public more credit, I think they will understand this just fine.
<br>And drop the whole sponsor thing, that'l happen in time.
<br>
<br>This is not meant as a personal attack, but you really lost me here. I know you care about the class, I just don't know if you care to make it fair to all.
