Hi Mark
<br> Please excuse the many typos ,and poor eyesight , have to go get glasses ,but keep putting it off . . promise to hit spellcheck if drafting actual class rules.
<br>
<br>-Believe the disatisfaction with open racing and Porthmouth ratings is partially responcible for the decline of the sport . -
<br>
<br>-Hope you are beginning to comprehend how much more systematic and how we can all relate through design measurement more readily to form unified potential racing classes ,-, --just maybe the long term solution to the ratings problems universally you mention.---A common language of math and design formula.
<br>
<br>--Your original proposal and now recomendation of -
<br> {Race for a year and see where you are. IF one boat is dominant because of technical boat design.... the formula class will fold} --
<br>
<br>--The proposal is as you suggest a receipy for failure ,and am presently unsure if this is the intent ,
<br>
<br> All the best to you regardless of our disagreement on Porthmouth ratings , and your insistance on their necessity.
<br>
