Thanks Mr Case , and Mark ,



Taking some time to get the numbers as correct as possible before finalizing Open Formula 20 Rules.

Plan to simplify them to a large degree and encourage and allow more open modification .





-The difficulty is setting an average wind speed which effects boat performance differently in ratio ---that is the ratio may be based at an average 8 to 10 mph , but will not be as accurate at 20 , but all Formula classes use a weight to sail area factor to some extent.



-Again it is a very difficult set of existing conditions that have deteriorated over time, , EXISTING 20 DESIGNS ALL OVER THE SCALE IN WEIGHTS AND SAIL AREAS , dead boat classes ,-Hobiecentric {suggestions AGAIN } ,-believe Formula racing will revitalize the sport over time .



Many may not ,-please forgive me for attempting to understand individuals motivation in posting , some will believe manufacturers one design is the only way to race ,some think Pn rating has all the answers and ,some will post with misguided intent of trying to promote other length catagory F-racing .



-The other interesting aspect is the interest in lightweight design ,spurred on by A Class cat developement .

Ideally we would have 3 excellent UNDER 300 lb 20 ft cats active in the U S to base a class on ,--we presently do not .

This would be very simple if we did .-

As I understand Steve is working on this with a group interested in a Pro Sailing Series , but based in lightweight 22 ft designs ,-



Happy Holidays
