I know of several Uni sailors who have qualified solo, but had to get crew to race the Alter, which brings up the question, why can't a Uni boat be used once in a while for the Alter Cup? Is it in the "charter" of the Alter Cup that it always be sailed on a -two up- boat? I would love to see it done on 10 new Nacra 17's, or A2's or the Blade Uni. No excuses that way. Maybe every 5th year they could go solo?
