Hi Thom

Yes, I believe that is the trend right now. Time will tell if people think the boats are about the same performance and worth racing boat for boat. (Personally, I believe that a rating system will prove to be fairer in the long run.) For instance, a Dart Hawk or an INter 18 or Mystere 5.5 are not up to speed in the F18 class. I think a rating system will extend the racing life of those boats for sailors who get into the sport for cheap.
