Looks great so far Bob…hope the options stay as wide open in the future as it is written now. If it really is all about the fun factor, the more options the better…also better for scrounging around to find bits and pieces for “Frankenstein” designing.

The design limits will shake themselves out in the long run by the virtue of effecting actual on the water performance… no limit on mast height, weight, sail area, and beam set at the max US trailerable width….( I anticipate some will find objection to 8’-6” because of it being over trailerable width outside the US.) will make for even more fun.

Keep it wide open and you could very well end up with the most “fun” (developmental or other wise) class of them all.
