Keep the boat 5.50 mtr (18ft) long, 130kg min weight then allow 2.75mtr width and limit total sail area to 40 sq. mtr. Allow a designer to use that sail area any why he wants.
Wouter, thats a good point, I agree with you, except on the beam restriction. Why not leave it unlimited?
The class really needs to decide what they want to be when they grow up.
I say either leave it alone, no jib, or start losing rules wholesale and make it a true development class.
Although the point seems to be kind of moot in the US.
Is anyone racing their HT? I dont think any of the new england boats are racing.
