This really isn't fair; bringing up this one-design argument again. It's the racers' choice: You can attend a one-design regatta and find out if it's really you or the boat, or you can travel to an open regatta and just have fun. Either way, it's the racers' choice. Let this whole thing alone; let the racers go where they want to go and don't shoot the RC that's trying to fill the bill for what the racers' want.
