<br>The only problemo there is that you place the additional sa in the jib and spin. Giving light teams a definite advantage up wind. If there was a way to adjust the total sa then MAYBE this might be fair. THe mainsail is the only sail that can really drive a boat on all points of sail. Additionally, I still feel that the bottom end is too low as our target market is not the H16 crowd. I feel that the class crew weight minimum should be no lower than 325 even applying this formula. The hobie 20' 295 minimum has always been a marketing issue and I feel it is grossly irresponsible of Hobie to allow it. Remember I sail a H20 and I'm saying this.
