Wouter- <br>I think the simplest would be to just apply a "no longer than" rule, but I would not know where to set that too SO, to begin with I think making 17 square meter the max size and then using some form of "rated sail area" to equalize things will allow some "experimentation" so that an "ideal" length could be determined. However, I would not like to see the class turn into one where "the person who shows up with the most masts/sails/etc." wins (that is, running a spi to the masthead knowing it will result in mast failures some fairly large percentage of the time BUT will result in regatta victories more often due to some speed advantage in MOST conditions). <br> <br>MO, <br>Kirt<br><br>Kirt Simmons <br>Taipan #159, "A" cat US 48
