I talked to Chuck after the awards re those comments. The bottom line is this, as long as we I-20s keep showing up in numbers and supporting the race, we are going to be in it. So that part is up to us. The other thread of this argument is how do we get Nacra to open up the sail plan (as it apparently is in Europe) to make us more competitive and sail design evolves, and or hold Elliot Patterson more accountable for quality control it this is in fact a real issue. I do agree we all put alot of extra stress on our spins this year with our tight double traps as we tried to follow the f-18s upwind, and this could certainly have led to failure.

So how do we open up the I-20 to box rules for sail design???
