Would someone please explain what this NAF20 class is supposed to accomplish?
<br>How can you establish a set of rules when the basic goal has not been established?
<br>What is the "Mission Statement".
<br>How do you know when a rule is "good" when you haven't defined what "good" is?
<br>Who is going to establish, vote on and enforce these rules?
<br>
<br>Some people want to allow older to boats to race (cheaply) even with newer boats.
<br>Some people want to allow older to boats to race (expensively) even with newer boats.
<br>Some people want just the newest, fastest boats to race each other.
<br>Some people want to force the factories into building better boats (HA).
<br>Some people want heavy boats with light crews.
<br>Some people want light boats with heavy crews.
<br>Some people want to design a class which fits them perfectly.
<br>Some people want to allow the Tornado to race against narrow boats.

<br>
<br>After 30+ threads and 200+ replies the discussion is still going around in circles. I hope something gets settled soon before everyone gives up.
<br>
<br>P.S.
<br>Give up on the NASCAR comparison. They had the crowds long before they had the big money they have now. Not money first and then crowds. The sponsors "discovered" a new demographic and it has snowballed. We are not such a demographic.
