I dont think we should include non-functional equipment issues like cleats jammed open or not installed in this discussion. 10 secs to tie a slip knot is 10 sec too much anyway (competition will be halfway down to the bottom mark when the knot is tied and the spi is flying)

The poll dont have enough participants to be representative but the trend there is clearly that two-up have most of the advantages over uni. Except for what input Gilo posted most seem to accept this as a fact and only have "train harder, sail smarter" as strategy to come out on top. What other options do we have?
Personally I dont see that many options within the class rules.

* Segregate unis from two ups?

* Allow different equipment on unis and loose the effortless switch from uni to two-up (which was a very strong selling point for the class in the beginning)?

* Give unis a time advantage when racing and loose "first over the line wins" ease of racing?

* Allow a different mainsail on unis?





Any creative input? Suggestions for improvements on todays percieved situation without impacting the class?
