With respect to " race door to door with boats that are faster but be "OK" with it! " I suspect that the Europeans and Aussie's would just laugh at such BS and tell you to shut up and race.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Racing everybody else on an one-start/open class format WORKS !

I guess that depends on what your definition of "works" is. If your definition of "Works" means that boats that can't class up normally get a bigger start, then yeah I guess it does work. But, if you can get the numbers without of hodge podge of boats then no it doesn't work.
I very seriously doubt you speak for all the EU and OZ.
