Ding,
Then your in a portsmouth race and not one design, right?
That's the way I see it.
If you have a one design fleet and one sailor breaks rank, do you put him in the open class or score him with the one design w/ the penalty?
Depends. If the fleet in question unanimously decides they are okay with it then I would have no issue (why would I). But, if there is one no vote then off they go to open with the modifier attached, assuming I'm the OA.
The last time I remember going over any of this "before" was back when I had my MX.

It was a while ago and it was when Mark first got his sails. You may have missed the thread.
Mark sails stock for OD events and the Area qualifier, he can't sail with his new sails for the area qualifier because it would require a modifier and modifiers are not allowed at the area qualifiers.
For the record there is no wiggle room in SMOD, either you is or you aint.
I apologize for the hijack.
