I thought Open spin and open non-spin were handicap classes... maybe I didn't see how they were classified.

I'm almost certain that if enough boats of any type showed up, they'd find a way to score them appropriately. I know it sounds weird, but some of us show up to sail and aren't as worried about what happens on the podium as much as what happens on the beach, course, and bar later...

If I dropped as much coin on those new shiny boats (or lessons/training) maybe I'd worry more about dishware and who's taking it home..
