This was the National Geographic special I think around 88, 89. Team North Carolina on a wooden homemade boat(pretty too) broke up in the surf after folding the beams at sea. Team Va Beach on a prindle 19 lost in some channels overnight around tybee or Charleston, not sure. Team Domino's on a NACRA 6.0 with Roy Seaman at the helm won the event. Team Australia second I beleive. I am going to go watch this thing and figure out what really did happen.
Anyway, my point was, open class, checkpoints, first to Virginia wins. No wussy Handicap. No battle over what one-design is the best- cause you know there's going to be a fight and it may turn into a fiasco like this year.
Just open it up to a certain length/beam and let the sailors(Worrell Competitors) decide. Sure would make it easier on everyone.

The men were amazed, and said, "What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?" Matthew 8:27
