does the phrase "Original One-Design configuration" mean that the configuration has class rules or does it mean that it has a set portsmouth rating (with implications of being a "supplied factory configuration")? 2.2 as stated above seems to imply that this means the latter.

If either scenario is the case, would the N6.0NE (New England spinnaker class) that was recently created by the sailors and has both class rules and a set portsmouth rating be allowed in the Alter Cup Qualifier? hmmmmmm.
