wow, and I was just interested (prior to a scheduling conflict) in attending for the party and the nice sail up the river with a crap-load of different boats.

I mean, really, how often do you get to sail along with an A-scow, a tall ships, sailing canoes, 4ksbs we've all skinned our knees on, and franken-boats of all shapes and sizes?

You dudes at the front of the pack worry about that protest stuff... but in essence I agree that if you've franken-boated yourself it would be nice to come up with a fair means of adjusting the rating.
