Steve,
<br>
<br>I think you are on the right track with all of the rules. Let me give you my experience with the weight issue. I raced the I20 in the Alter Cup last year against a lot of different sailors. I raced it a little heavy at about 375. Others raced anywhere from 325 to 400 (Barry). I saw one of the teams that tied for first place weigh in at more than me. I didn't feel like the weight was too big of an issue until you got around the 400 mark. So in my opinion you could leave the minimum weight at 325. There is a small set of conditions that this is a slight advantage but clearly this is not the deciding factor as proved out in the Alter Cup. It was not extreme at all during the Alter Cup. In fact we had some light air races. I do not believe the I20 needs any additional sail area in the slightest. It is an extremely powerful sailplan currently.
