Thanks guys, all good points.

<br>The basic idea of a formula class is to provide one design style racing. All boats will be theoretically equal. It is very possible that a new better smaller boat will some day be beating whatever formula is decided upon. If this is truelly a concern, set up a developmental class of 20 footers with parameters open enough for sailors to choose boats for their weight, local wind conditions etc.

<br>Im personally a huge supporter of 1 design, and hence favor the tru intent of a formula class. I agree with Wouter that the current slant (my interpretation of the forum posts) of the class being constructed around the I20 US will not attract the attention that we would like to see.

<br>I am very interested in how this keeps shaping out.
