It would be nice if we could do something about the no modifications allowed in the qualifiers. I understand why that is, but it does keep quite a few people from participating.
The best thing you can do in this case is to make sure that your local regatta results are submitted for evaluation by the Portsmouth group. If they get enough data on a boat, the brackets go away.
Jake the mods I think he's talking about are things like the mods that allow you to carry a spin, non stock sails stuff like that. I don’t think he’s talking about boats with provisional numbers.
Adding the mods will only exacerbate the lack of fairness issue.
