We have to decide what we want the class to be about.

Should it be a "Development Class" like the A cats?

Or should it be about keeping the rules tight, so the boats are more equal, putting more emphasis on the skipper and crew to win races, vs. some new dagger board, sail or what have you.

Development costs money, and takes time.

The two things I'm always short of are time and money.

If we go the development route, curved boards, foiling, etc. I'll be out, might go to a Hobie 16 or a Corsair, something where I don't have to spend additional time and money on every new idea that comes along. If I wanted to do that, I'd be on an A Cat.
