Bob,

Why don't you read your own post one more time:

I'll give you the part of your post that I reacted to :

"The evolution of the class continues. This is a development class. All competitors in the US are still racing the Bimare Javelin 2 platform. Last year, nearly everyone was using the stock Bimare mainsail and a Smyth spinnaker. At this regatta, the top competitors were using either an Ullman or Ashby mainsail. In addition, other sailmakers like Irwin and Tony Arends (Quantum) have made sails for the boats that are currently being tested. Spinnakers are now being hoisted higher and further forward resulting in a higher aspect chute that improves the downwind helm of the boat, stability, visibility, and speed. Two competitors have changed out the stock rudders with those used on the Marstrom M-20 and they believe this change certainly improves the downspeed handling of the boat and may contribute to better top end speed. Critics of the class will argue that it is not healthy to have an “arms race” but everyone in the class seems committed to finding the fastest rig/platform setup and sail combinations. This continued development should lead to a stable class structure married to sensible evolution as demonstrated by the A-class. "


Do you recognise it now ?

And don't tell me that I'm imagining things. These were YOUR words.

All you have to do is show some real development not seen before in other classes.
