Wouter,

measurement systems are equally bad. They typeform the development of boats, and often in bad directions. Just look at the IMS monohulls with wooden keels and lead in the bilge.. The same is valid for formula classes like the F18 and our own F16 class (e.g. hooter/code zero vs. spi debate).
The most "correct" rating system would in my opinion be a personal rating for each sailor/team on specific boats. But in the end, sailing is a sport where you choose your classes and live with your choices. Pretty much like any other activity you choose to do.


Will be very interesting to see what happens with your system Mark! Please keep us informed.
