Interesting question and even a very telling question at that.

If we were to do this then would the dominance of the uni-rig be proof of its superiority as a design concept or rather would it be proof of the class rules actively favouring this setup over the alternatives.

Or if the Moth class rules had forbidden the use of hydrofoils, would we then have seen proof of the superiority of the planing moths ?


I believe there are two situations that need to be kept well apart.

-1- The best design given a set of rules.
-2- The best design possible.
