So, at some point (probably in the foreseeable future) the DPN for "A Class" will be such that a floating A boat will never be able to sail close to the number?


IF anyone were actually sending such data to the PN committee (they are at best reactive, never proactive), then yes, your assumption is correct.

Of course, it would take a lot of fast foilers and years of events to make a statistical change large enough to have that effect. Until then, a good foiler should be a number killer.
