STEP BY STEP-
<br>
<br>We have based the class largely on I-20 specs as a base,
<br>-380 min.boat wgt,-208 main 53 jib 270 spin ,-+crew
<br> ISAF RATING =
<br>
<br>-We require a higher weight and sail catagory to include existing iF 20S like the Fox and all existing boats with specifications to a min.410 boat weight and above.
<br> The sail area ,main ,jib and spin to rate equally to ISAF and Texel ratings per weight with the existing Inter 20 -
<br>
<br>-We now have 2 catagories of wgt to sail area that include the Inter 20 and existing designs plus iF 20S,
<br> propose a 3rd catagory to allow boat weights from existing 410 to 380 and now to 350 with sail area that rates equal to the Inter 20 in ISAF and Texel ratings .
<br>
<br>-Also a 4th catagory for HP 20 designs down to a boat weight of 320Lbs --30 LB increments.
<br> this also of course has a proportionately smaller sailplan in accordance with weight to equal the Inter 20 rating according to ISAF and Texel ratings .
<br>
<br>-Adding crew weight to this 4 catagory formula may require sub catagories or 10 even increment catagories of 10 LBs each , dependant on how much weight should be allowed between catagories to provide FAIR sailing . -
<br> --All boat and crew weights in total match sail areas to an equal rating .
<br> The lightest catagory can set min crew weight for that catagory only at a higher percentage of total eliminating the perceived lightweight advantage . This allows all a choise of boat sail and a total weight rule , fair to all.
<br>
<br>-can I get some help with this -
<br> thanks
