Excellent!

I'd feel better if we made sure the "spirit of the rule" is clear. Maybe something like this:

1.In case of doubt, the intention of the rule makers, which is referred to as the spirit of the rule, shall take precedence over the letter of the rule. [color:"red"]It is the intention of the rule makers to set a reasonably fixed drag, relating to a reasonably fixed saildrive, resulting in level performance over many different makes, so as to achieve a fair and effective formula class.[/color]

Or probably a rewritten version of this, if my english is too bad (as usual).
