Poll: Choose your basic formula development strategy
<br>
<br>I think one goal of this discussion is to consider HOW to sort out racing teams onto appropriate boats that optimizes fair competition overall using a formula rule system.
<br>
<br>One solution. Graduated minimum weights that are close to the optimum weight to race the boat. EG. 330 F18... 350 F20, balanced against fixed rated sail area.
<br>
<br>Second solution. Combined boat weight/team weight balanced against graduated sail area.
<br>
<br>Third solution. Do nothing. Let the marketplace rule. Let everyone try to get to the 330 lb minimum and fight it out for market share. May the best solution win?
<br>
<br>
<br>Here is the poll:
<br>Which solution do you favor and believe will be more popular in the marketplace for sailors, builders and sponsors. (You must consider all three or justify why you exclude one of the groups)
