I can't believe anyone is reading this thread much less responding.

But my suggestion was byob with tuning. You wouldn't be sharing boats.

One last thought then I'm done. USS owns Alter Cup, they are a Federally licensed monopoly whose mandate is to support and develop Olympic sailing. Therefore it seems reasonable to me that the USS championship should epitomize and emulate the highest standards of Olympic sailing i.e. each team brings their own boat and tunes it to the highest level of performance.

In the end I suspect your argument will be with USS not with me.
