Draw what conclusions you want, but I think that a lot of "spinnaker snobs" punted when they found out what boat the 2004 Alter Cup was going to be sailed in. They should all be ashamed of themselves.
Maybe the type of boat used at the AlterCup should not be revealed until after all the qualifiers have been sailed?
With regard to the H16 class, some people make a conscious decision to sail "oldschool" for whatever reason.
If you want to sail with a spin there are much better alternatives anyway, the H16 should just stay the way it is.
