I am not making any point at all. I was just responding to the original poster who started this thread, because it sounds like he is in Europe and wants to know what is being done here. So I was just quoting him what is apparently the position of our governing body -- or at least of the Multihull Council. No editorializing or opining. Merely a statement of fact. I know that the weight modification was originally done on a trial basis, and apparently the Portsmouth Committee decided not to push it. You would have to talk to somebody on the Portsmouth Committee, probably Darline Hobock, to find out why.



Obviously, of course, the weight modifications, if used, would only apply to boats that have minimum crew weights designated by their class associations. Outside of the Hobie classes and the Performance Catamaran classes, I don't know how many, if any, other classes do this.
