I think Steve is right here. The rule needs to be simple, dead simple, to understand.
<br>
<br>The A-class provides a perfect model for our ultimate goat:
<br> 1. You boat must fit within certain limits
<br> 2. You can buy it anywhere
<br> 3. First to finish wins
<br>
<br>This formula also has been proven to work wonders for NASCAR, etc. I, for one, would be happy to get even 1% of their success!
<br>
<br>It is important, or so it seems to me, that we don't let the temporary goal of transitioning existing boats strangle the permanent goal of developing a viable and sustainable class.
<br>
<br>Sail fast and have fun,
