Hi all,

I can olny agree to that, maybe I would say both are equally good. You need certainly both rating systems to verify the numbers of each system.
The only fair system is one design class racing. But live would be so boring without the discusion about the right rating... So, to add some fuel in the fire: I would appreciate if measurements rule don't use rated sail area, but true sail area, because I pay my sail maker for true area. I am sorry for the H16 sailor, but boats would be better in future.

Cheers,

Klaus
