What did the factory/class say? I don't think the rules were written to make it a family boat ,they were written to keep light teams from taking advantage. The skill of the sailors aboard has no bearing on the handicap. I'd say talk to your fellow club members and come up with an equitable solution, it's not like your traveling and racing lots of different folks with your son.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
