Hey Macca come on in and join us, one thing is for sure, you will not be able to change things as far as weight etc goes until you own a boat, the internet afterall is only a snapshot of personal views. Own a boat, put forth a proposal and all the members will vote, we are a very democratic community.
Anyway why the one man mission to save ourselves, if you are so convinced then set up your own class and get on with it. In 5 years time I hope you will acheive your own personal goals, my personal goal is to continue sailing F16's as they suit my own personal requirements.
