Jake: What I don't want to have happen, is "here is what you get" without any but the most privileged in the class's input.
So your proposal is a "design by committee"?
One thing I do NOT want to see is 6 different versions of "development" spinnakers on boats around the country, based on who knew who, used over the next four years. I want my SMOD class. If I race you on the race course I want to know I either won or lost with the same equipment. I also don't want to have to buy 3 spinnakers before they settle on a design.
This really isn't some magical mystical thing to design a faster sail than what we have.
