Hi Carl,
It sounds like the class rule makers have already stepped in some. First they take a class that is only an idea at this time and divide it into two divisions. Nothing divided by two is still nothing. Don't divide the class yet. Let something get started and then if there is a different demand with some weight to it, add to the class rules to accomodate it later. Get started with one goal first; get critical mass.
Reading the posts so far, sailors want to take existing platforms and modify them some, like improve the sail plan and add a spinnaker and retractor system and "let's go racing". It reminds me of a 1950's stock car. Take a standard production US automobile and take the upholstery
out, tape up the lights, add a roll bar, take the air cleaner off the carburetor and "let's go racing".
That 150 pound class minimum weight is a scaled down all carbon A class boat that costs $15,000.00 US Dollars. What these posts are talking about is a $1500 dollar boat finished and ready to go racing.
Class organizers, listen to the people.
Bill
