Careful, Jack... someone might take you seriously. That's a huge job. It is on the agenda for the Multihull Council meeting later this month in Denver.
The truth is and has been for some time, that Darline could use some help.
I assume you'll be at SF. Perhaps you can bring me up to speed on this. I'm not really interested in getting involved with PH. My interest would be in a measurement based alternative.
.....and I've never been shy of "huge jobs".
There are two schools of thought:
1) give portsmouth the help it needs to continue.
2) go strictly to a measurement based system (personally, I'm not a fan of this and will be glad to discuss in more detail)
3) design a combined system that utilizes the strengths of both the portsmouth and measurement based systems to overcome the weaknesses of both.
There's no need to reinvent a new wheel here - there are successful measurement based systems and successful performance based systems. Consequently they both have polar opposing strengths weaknesses that could benefit from the other.
Damnit Ding....you're getting a new shirt this year.
