Mike Fahle pulled together some specs on some of the boats we're talking about -
http://mystereowners.org/mystere/43specs.htmlThe 450 is 14'10" - too big, or get 'em all in?
Sail area - main and jib (or main only) up to 130 sq. ft.? That gets the 4.3 but not the 14 Turbo... I'd hate for the Turbo guys to have to buy new sails other than a screecher... or should we just have a TOTAL sail area limit - then the Turbo is in, just with a smaller headsail, which they'd be adding anyway. Say, 282 sq. ft. total sail area excluding mast, mast height limit of 24 ft. I picked 282 because that the area for the 4.3, which is the only 14-footer with jib, main and spin already on the boat. Simpler, cheaper (no current sails to replace, fewer new sails to buy).
Pick a crew weight or not, give 'em all a number around 78 and let's try it out - race each other straight up, but try to start with other classes to see if the number is close.
There's a gaggle of scurvy dogs in the OSYC clubhouse RIGHT NOW talking about this, ready to pull some 14s out of retirement!
