Subject length restrictions, I really do know how to type I promise.

My question is quite simple. I'm curious as to how to get some sail development going in the N20 class? The sailplan has basically been the same since for years now, while we watch out little brothers in the F18 class get all the improvements.

Now I know why this is, its quite apparent that the competition between not only manufacturers but also sailmakers in the F18 class drives sail tech refinement.

But how do we acheive this in a class that is NOT formula, and really has no other competition in the 20' market except the Tornado which is really in another price league?

In other words, there's really no motivation for Nacra to pay any attention to our sails since we're not going to be pitting our Nacra I20 against the the Hobie I20, or the AHPC I20. I guess I'm going to have to be happy to stick to my rags in a single manufacturer class.
