That's where I'm confused. If you want something traditional, why are you on a A class? The A class doesn't strike me as a traditional class, but as a development class, like the moth. The moth would be completely irrelevant if they had gone the traditional way instead of embracing something new and exciting...

And I don't want yet another foiling frankenboat, I'd like something based on a modern platform, with a chance to become a class. So the 5.2 is out as a foiling platform IMHO.

I'm not a A class sailor, but I truly believe the class vote to outlaw foiling was a setback.
