...every class chooses a set of definitions. This makes life hell for the scorekeeper because he usually won't know what the difference is between 1 up on a Dart 18 (Main only)...
The Dart 18 is a good example of class rule abuse in Portsmouth. If you sail solo sloop-rigged on a Dart 18 you can claim uni-rig and then add the jib modifier. This gives you a DPN exactly the same as the sloop 2-up! Everyone else must take a basic sloop 2-up and takes the light weight hit for solo (L4 = 0.97). The difference? The sloop Dart loses nothing when sailed solo when all other solo sloops give up 2.5 min/hr. And the Dart guys say it's fair because that's the Dart rules.
Sucks... I can hear the OD guys laughing right now.
