I'll race any 20ft x 8.5 cat, any design any sail any weight any time.

I would not waste time arguing to gain some perceived advantage I would sail and find out if I need to learn how to race better

Is the object to make the rules fit specific boats or to race the boats we have and become better sailors (or better rule makers.)

Quit whining - lets sail. It is not bad to lose only to lose bad.
