You guys should check out the US F18 HT rules. They allow multiple main sails for their class.... Since this was the class rule... it was factored into the PN Rating.... god only knows what Texel or SCHR would do with a class that allowed multiple sails. (they would all measure into the rule.... you just have a quiver of them and can change them at will).

I suspect that any noise about F16's concerns their US rating... When the rest of the world is rating F16's much faster... THe US fleet ought not to talk very much about kicking butt ... especially when the US rating updates took a two year break....

and following this up the uspn system will change the rating by 25 % a year towards the proper rating (again presuming a large amount of data in open class races... not F16 races).
