The Australian and Asians championship in Melbourne was a bring your own boat event, they had a limited amount of charter boats. No boat had their weight checked.

On all Europeans I've sailed, no weight check of the boats, but all Gold fleet sailors had to use supplied new sails and battens.

Why is it only the Hobie16 Europeans that use the concept with new sails for the gold fleet?

For me "one design" means bring your boat and sail, no boring delays with measurement and other stuff.
