What I dont understand is why is Wouter (Dutchman) worried so much about our DPN? Wouter you do not sail in the US, you dont have to worry about Portsmouth numbers.

Tom - I think if we start using the actual Uni number, and better results start flowing into the committee they will look at it, and clearly see that the number is off.

Why actively pursue it? Let the committee do their job. Lets not (as a class) interfere with their data collection.

Just because we say the Uni number is a slow number, doesn't mean squat. We have to get out there, use it, and prove that it is in fact a slow number. This is how Portsmouth numbers works.

This is reminds of when Wouter wanted us to invite the F17 sailors to race with us straight up. Remember the headache that caused? Lets be very carefull with our approach, please!

We've already had our fair share of F16 bashing and honestly it is NOT doing the class any good.

ps: I actually think this is something that should be discussed in private so local opinions wont be skewed by non local sailors.
