Andrew, from the brief chat that we had at Carnac, I discern you to be basically a nice guy who likes his sailing. You also (occasionally) seem to make a valid point or two. As you've pointed out, this forum is a discussion board and some of the discussion in this thread is genuinely interesting - I won't go into what the rest of it is - so discuss away but please don't expect the class rules to change in favour of any particular builder anytime soon.
Hi John,
I have no expectations of the class changing the rules based on the discussion here.
This whole thread started after I defended Wouter (of all people!) regarding his reasonable expectation to have his measurement certificate completed.
Since then its been a full on bash-a-thon aimed at me and my crazy, "twisted logic" ideas that all aim to ensure longevity, commercial viability and good fair racing.
