In answer to Zuhl. It's up to the race committee to solve this ratings problem prior to the race. You can't show up with a Hobie 20 rig on a Hobie 18 and expect to just get dinged for a larger main. The race committee has the abitity to set the number at what it deems fair when something does not conform to standards in the system.

The answer to Dave's question is harder. The only thing that the ratings people have to go on is the results that are turned in. If you know of more results please turn them in to Darlene. If you want to make a case of it turn them into the PN Committee (even if they are on paper) with your observations of unfairness. The PN Committee is a group of very experienced racers that can correct ratings inequalities. I saw them correct a problem that I brought to their attention concerning the Cat House 20 a few years back. They did it very quickly which impressed me.
