Correct, but I was thinking more of something else that would trounce future competition. We've seen these items show up at oportune times to try to get a technological edge, and that's what Formulae racing allows.
So unless you "freeze" a certain platform within a development class, you'd most likely end up with dissimilar boats on the start line, which would be the source of all kinds of controversy
Freezing a certain platform design within a formulae class further fractures the development class into "olympic" and "non-olympic" groups, which then may force DPN rating changes and PHRF style handicaps which never truley level the field.
Am I off base here?
