recently posted on the new forum ,--suggestions for improving catamaran racing in N A
Outlined the concept of Formula Classes in each length category to eventually include all catamarans in basic L categories for racing groups .
long winded -sorry
http://www.catsailor.com/forums/sho...ew=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1 Expanded Formula 20 would eventually have an HT category
for a future class of lighter weight larger beam 20s
like the Marstom 20 --Ventilo -10 beam --CFR ht types --Tornado --etc forming its basic specs and rules outline.
Ventillo example
http://www.morrellimelvin.com/page29.html Also in the N A F-20- ideally it would eventually also include a non spin 20 sub category ,-kind of like a B fleet in H racing ,-more for newer sailors to get involved in 20 racing that do not want or are not yet ready for a spin or just like racing without one.
One other concept in the total Formula L category theme was much like the current F-14 preliminary rule of having a more open less restricted developmental unlimited class ,--in larger Length category also.
C Class cats have the upper range in development though extremely expencive .
A middle range L that allowed development may be the ideal again .
The only class that existed previously was the 18 sq class
unlimited beam etc etc -with only Length and sail area .
here is an 18 sq post on the new forum with lots of info
http://www.catsailor.com/forums/sho...ew=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1 It might be interesting to speculate on a similar or same type unlimited Formula class category ,--maybe per single handed 18 sq rule --or -20 length with spin added as one poster plans to build.
--Might just call it the Formula Unlimited ,20
The Class logo would just have a large
F---U on the sail
just joking as usual--
all L Formula Classes will exist eventually -
If there is more real interest in starting a more unlimited development 20 class first ,-I,m all for it .
any interest or ideas out there ?-
Humorous mood today ,
Also here is a new Panda biscuts kinda rap for any Rathergood fans out there ---off sailing topic }
have fun
