I would love to see the 20 class open up and go somewhere. There are several completed designs going already to jump start it but no momentum. There is a base with the F18 and the trends in design really make most of the claims about crew weight competitiveness BS.
It's not BS, and Matt when you sail a season heavy we can talk. I've sailed both ways, lighter is better.
Finally the obvious truth from someone I trust.
Matt, Your 20 project sounds cool, I'd love to see it sometime, but I can see why you benched it.
