So far EP has been more than accomodating in their offer to resolve our faulty spins.
As for the sail development... I don't think open "revolt" is going to accomplish much to be honest. Working within the infrastructure already established will bring about change much faster IMO.
Its not like there haven't been changes to the N20 platform before. Snuffer/spin pole, rudder shapes, alum rig (which hasn't yet shown up yet tho) so the precedent is already there for the manufacturer to change things and remain class legal. To be honest, I really like it this way as opposed to something like the laser, where the owners have to have a vote on whether they can put a stupid bungie on their outhaul.
I'm not sure I follow, but maybe revolt is too strong of a word. Many very successful one design classes have the sail making open within a measurement rule (Melges, J22, Etchells, in fact most OD keel boats.. not that I'm a fan of racing keel boats). The key benefits of this are competition amongst the makers to keep costs down / quality up and local service (a big one I think unless you live near where EP is).
