The MHC has the issue on their agenda for the next meeting.

The proposal is to officially approve using a measurement system and sanction the development of ratings for the US boats.

Appoint a chairmen to line up a couple of measurement individuals. Designate a scale standard and have at it.

The MHC would then publish the US approved ratings table just like the Portsmouth committee publishes the PN yardstick.

The Ratings Committee would be assigned the job of writing a fair and balanced FAQ which would detail the differences between the rating systems.


Since Jack owns one of the US specific boats... he would be a likely measurement person for Florida. I seem to remember that Ding had some scales in his possession and i bet we could get him to weigh a Nacra F17 for us... I know he has a certain fondness for and would love to know more about the infamous Frankenboat!

At the end of the day...Each Organizing Authority will choose how they want to run their races... just as they do now.

We should be clear... WE DO NOT EXPECT TO SEE ANY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN THE TROPHIES AWARDED. As Tami said... The fast guys are gonna win... and that is the way it should be
