Option 2 :

****

Maximum Mast & mainsail area = 15 sq. mtr.

Maximum Mainsail luff length is 8.1 mtr. (= 8100 mm)

Maximum jib sail area = 3.70 sq. mtr

(no maximum jib luff length defined for the jib; such a rule would serve no purpose)

****


Looks like this is the prefered candidate at this time.

Still need to talk to 2 builders (Matt McDonald and Greg Goodall), but Goodall will go along as he wanted such a simplification; Phill and John are already on line. Also 3 class heads have expressed support for this option already (Steve, Phill and myself) we have 6 class heads in total. So we are on the brink of a class authority majority. So this option look promising. I will however try to get full concensus on this issue.
