Could the change just make the gap between fastest and slowest even bigger?
Change sail shape, make boats faster, handicap changes again.
Blokes with older boats (me included haha) are then at a disadvantage.
No more going to regattas sailing your old clinker well and collecting a trophy or two.
I'm not saying I'm completely against the idea, Infact anything that does make the class stronger I'm completely in support of, but I could see it turning people without the $$ to adjust to the changes away from the great mozzi class or even discouraging new comers because of the extra coin they have to lay out to be competitive. Just another opinion to consider. smile
