Having a Portsmouth # for F14 does not preclude anyone from racing as a one design with mods. You simply register as whatever you are and give the mods.

Not having a # Portsmouth leaves specialty boats out in the cold. Such as custom boats and boat that are so modified that hey scare the race committee.

No matter what, I am going to have to apply for a Portsmouth # and I am going to look a whole lot like an F14 with and without a spinnaker.

It would be better if we decide on a preliminary number together. We can call this thing whatever we want, so as not to confuse it with the modified production boats. Call it EXP 14.

With no port mouth # there is no incentive to build a boat. Though if 2 boats are built this year I will be surprised
