All,
It appears we are settling in on a max hull length of 14'3", mast length of 24', open beam, max sailarea of 300sqft in any configuration, 1 or more crew, everything else open.
Have I missed anything? This would give us a great place to start!! Later we can include an "unlimited" class within the structure if needed. Maybe a manufacturer will come on board with a boat built to our specs? Who knows!
When I get home from work tonight, I will look at all the posts one more time to see what else there is to debate. Tomorrow (Thu), I will break down the above parameters into a yes/no for a vote on each. I ask you to copy the parameters on to an email with your votes and email them to me at [email]
[email protected].[/email] Please vote by 1000 CST on Friday. I will tally with majority rule and post the results with the yes/no counts so you can see how all the numbers fell either Friday afternoon (before I go to work at 2:30pm) or early Sat morning. Saturday at 1200 CST, I will post the finalized rules version that will get us off and running. I want to thank everyone for their support of this idea.
Respectfully,
Bob Curry
PS: When you send in your vote, please include your full name and snail-mail address/phone number/email address for the class roster. Thanx.
