C) Our existing diametrically opposed systems can be improved by merging the two and utilizing the strengths from one to offset the weaknesses of the other.
Though I agree that someone somewhere will always be griping, it's no reason to not make a system better than it is currently. C sure seems to make the most sense to me.
In the short term, what if you were to score a regatta using both Portsmouth and Texel or SCHRS.
i.e., sail a 5-race series but score it at if it were ten.
5-scores with Portsmouth and 5-with the measurement formula.
It would tend to "blend" the two and perhaps dampen the major flaws.
The main problem in my mind is the extra calculations and hence time needed to provide the results. It would take a very dedicated scorer to take on this extra workload.
