I agree with all you say...what I am trying to get at is the perception have of the T is that it is expensive. As many campaigners will say the cost of sails is a small prportion of any campaign. One of the ways I was putting froward of reducing they perception of costs is to have a one manufacturer one cut policy aka laser 49er.

You can hardly call the T sails one design as Mitch Booth once said they for every 10 suits of sails they develop they may take 9-12 steps back or possibly take 1 step forward...hardly one design when people are talking about development
