Previous class member so I hope my words are heard and not ignored.

At first I was all for swtiching crews/equipment around, but I learned its not fair and I was advocating for it not to be done. Ive voiced this opinion at regattas and even here on the forums.

Personally I think it should be banned, unless something extreme happened and there is no other option. For exacmple your regular crew gets hurt and there is no one else willing to race with you.

I wasnt for this switch around when I was in the F16 class and now that I am in the F18 class and unless racing OPEN I wouldnt care.

IMO if a F16 sailor registers UNI he races UNI. If he registers SLOOP he races sloop no matter what.
