So to clarify ppls positions...
Prestige Events (Worlds, Nationals) should be a strict one crew configuration only system, however official crew changes like any other class should be allowed (ie. if your crew/skipper is broken beyond repair)
Club racing should be race whichever F16 you bring, 1-up, 2-up, doesn't matter, anything goes, changes are allowed up to the start gun of each race.
Minor Events (States, regional) depends on event committee. Changing between 1-up and 2-up is allowed but cannot win major title, only minor titles (ie. junior, veteran, amateur? etc.)
Selection Events should be conducted as the event being selected for.
OT - Maybe "Pro" and "Amateur" divisions (for want of better terms) can be applied for some regattas. The "Pros" can't change crew configuration except for exceptional circumstances, the "Amateurs" can change. I know of a couple of Aust. classes that have something similar even at National Championships level, the "B" fleet races without spinnakers or with modified crew numbers but starts with the "A" fleet. Just something to think about for some regattas.
"Which part?" ALL of it.
AND, you should add a rule that says you cannot kick off your crew DURING a race or pick up a crew DURING a race. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
AND, to add another minor complication, if the F16's are racing as a class in a multiple class event that charges a different entry fee for singlehanders vs. doublehanders, because they are providing food and/or T-shirts for each participant, and if an F16 registers as a singlehander and then later adds crew, do they they have to pay the additional entry fee? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
