"Alex. I'll take 'bad ideas for $100"

Take a successful box rule, change it, and anger a successful competitive class, while obsoleting all the current boats?

Ummm, No thanks...

If the F18 box rule changed to make lighter boats, I think many would leave the fleet, and irrepairable harm would occur.

Where I see changes in the class are much more incremental, and afford no real equipment advantages...Carbon fiber spin poles, booms, and tiller sticks (i.e. stuff that bends/busts), newer sail plans... but overall, the box should stay mostly as is.


If it ain't broke...
