Please indicate, for the record, that I did not use the phrase but merely made reference to it. grin

Look, Portsmouth works pretty well and we've watched the F18, N20, H16, F16...all these numbers work themselves out. It's big glaring weakness is new boats and boats without much data (like Dave pointed out, one design boats that don't compete much in open class). It's strength is that it's flexible. It's weaknesses can be overcome by applying the strengths of Texel or another measurement based system for the numbers that have relatively few points of data (the numbers with brackets).

To those who oppose Portsmouth, what SPECIFICALLY, do you see as the weaknesses of the system that cannot be solved by applying a measurement based system to it?
