Simon,

I don't need you to add "context" everytime I post something. Nor do I think the other forum readers have such a need either.

Besides, your own comments are just as "sweeping" and actually confirm my comments. Therefore, I fail to understand what your posts actually clearifies about my post apart from the fact that the SCHRS committee is reconsidering something.

CO's are simply very large jibs and they behave accordingly. It is really not that hard to understand them. CO's have always been around even on the ship we build 200 years ago, we just called them differently. The current interest in them is to get around the various class rules. I doubt whether we'll see much of them on beach cats unless several rule sets and the way we race are changed fundamentally. Personally, I don't believe that to be very likely.
