The Formula 12 Design Box Rule
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. 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.

The fixed drag and fixed saildrive are not possible over various designs, I suggest we use "similar" instead of "fixed" so that we don't have some wennie saying the drag on one is not the same as another....which it never will be
Still dissappointed that you threw out the traps...and over 12 knots of breeze they will make the boats faster (so my VPP says anyway).
