Tad,
Please allow me to ask this. Being new to the game, I can understand your desire for purist in the N20 pursuit, and make it a level playing field. I sailed this weekend with a bunch of top notch sailors and they smoked me at every race. They could beat me with a 14 Hobie, but I still had a good time. I know in time I'll get better. They'll beat me time after time, but I'll keep trying. If we allow a set or given design of sail by different lofts to be used, what is wrong with making the boats more competitive. I mean, who will want to buy a N20 in a couple of years when it's so slow a F16 can out run it. I'm just asking.
Thanks
Forrest N20
