I was thinking the same thing. The only answer I could come up with, was that they wanted to avoid 'the boat of the month' syndrome, according to what boat won the latest championship?
Sure, but, its a formula class. Thats the price you pay for having different manufacturers, right? I dont want to rub anyone the wrong way here, but it makes you fell like the rules are trying to downplay that some boats are faster than others (that may not have been the intention of the rule?). I just think it would be cool to see those results.
