The ideal form of racing is in class groups . In larger events with numerous classes in attendance beyond orienting racing towards these classes a handicap class is needed and event organizers may wish to add an overall trophie based on ratings .- For distance races particularly like the Tybee 500 and other similar distance races this adapted N A Texel rating is ideal and eliminates most rating problems.

One conversion problem is Performance cat which builds different versions in N A and for use in Europe -
Most cat design now is the same particularly with numerous international classes ,-Hobie 16S --A-Class --Tornados ,--Formula Classes ,-Tigers Nacras -F-18s -F-16s -F-18HTs -and F-20s more and more in the future.
Recognizing this and establishing race structure and rating systems that compliment this trend are the best course for the sports future ,-and seems inevitable.

Both the Euro N-6/0 and the I-20 -Formula 20 have a 96 rating in Texel Rating.
The N A vesion Inter 20 has 15 more sq ft in larger main and is lighter at 390 LB. --

The Euro 6/0 has a smaller sail plan also .

Do any have Euro 6/0 specifications -
Do any have current Texel rating numbers on both N A versions -6/0s and I-20s --
