Jack - did you ever hear the story of the carbon P19? Or the Hobie 16 that was widened and had the main hoist height modified? Simplicity's great, no arguing. Don't forget, though, that if we waive some of the system's rules we're setting ourselves up to be different from everyone else... again. Kinda like Portsmouth.
I've heard all the stories and I make my living keeping race car folks in line.
Those examples are rare and pretty easy to ferret out. Hard to believe that "corinthians" would do that....but!
I can live with 1% ers spoiling the soup. They will eventually get hungry.
As Americans we have a family tradition of going our own way. Why would we not continue that? Right or wrong.
