You might want to add a rule on rudder size. I think the rule for this should be as long as the rudder is the exact size and shape of the Hobie Racer Blade its ok. No limit on weight.
<br>
<br>Also the H16 weighs 320 lbs. but with lighter rudders, sail, and batten material the boat may come under the current weight. I have been told with the before mentioned lighter stuff a H16 can actually weigh around 290 lbs. So its just an idea but maybe we should have the minimum boat weight at 290 lbs. or do some weighing to find out.
<br>
<br>I think the class rules should allow Trapseats so those with significant disabilities can sail in the turbo class.
<br>
<br>Also it may be better to have the word Turbo before Hobie 16 as the Trapseat class has the abbreviation H16TS on the US Sailing PN # List and if we call the class the H16 Turbo class then it will be abbreviated H16T. I am almost certain that the US Sailing PN committee will want the word Turbo in front of the word Hobie 16 to keep it clear on their PN list from the Trapseat class.

<br>What do you all think?<br><br>
