I’m not sure why you would find Pete’s post offensive.

If you guys want to switch crews, configuration, sails, hardware, or modify any rule you want within your own class then go nuts, but if you are racing in the open fleet you know as well as I do that it is extremely unfair and will drive people away from racing. The argument that you’ll have perfectly sailable boats sitting on the beach because you can’t switch configurations is bogus and self serving.

Matt anybody that goes to the Alter Cup is taking it “very seriously”. If you’re not taking it seriously why would you be there?

The 07 and 08 AC results show that the F16 number needs to be addressed. I know this hurts one of the selling points of the boat and takes money out of the builder’s pocket, but it’s the right thing to do for the sport.
