good discussion -
<br>
<br>-problems -with total weight rules
<br>
<br> 1- when it was upgraded in the future as mentioned it would obsolete the entire existing fleet .
<br>
<br>-2- the same total weight boats with a 80 lb heavier crew on the wire has a huge advantage and some 500 ft lbs more righting moment counterbalancing the wind force and sail thrust.
<br>
<br>-3-problems mentioned with numerous variables in each mfg. boat weight .
<br>
<br>-note -
<br> Once you modify the 20 and add a large chute it becomes a very different animal ,-David and I sailed the Worrell 1000 along with several other very competitive teams at around 400 lbs .
