If I had to race a 2 up boat all the time, I wouldn't be here, nor would a lot of other F16 sailors who want the flexibility of doing it -both ways-, that's all I'm saying.

There really isn't a problem inside the F16 class, the problem exists only with other classes, why they care is beyond me, oh, wait, they don't like being beaten in an open type event. I hate open type events where you have to do math to decide who won, but there will never be a perfect rating program, it is what it is, so accept it and move on, or don't show up. And Ding, if the rule doesn't exist, who is breaking it?

What is the real issue? Is it the upcoming Area D's you are concerned with?
Just put in the sailing instructions, there will be NO crew or sail changes and no configuration changes, that ought to cover it. That way you won't have to worry about anyone trying to leave crew behind, or change out crew for wind conditions in the 2 up boats as well.

And Macca, nice job at the F18N/A's, if that was you. But you don't have to paint us all with the same brush.
