Some will remark that SCHRS/ISAF are still listing 1.02 for the 2-up F16 version. This is an error. I've tried contacting them several times to correct this mistake but I'm getting nowhere. The SCHRS committee is downright impossible to contact.
Wouter is not alone.
SCHRS have never replied to any e mails I have sent.
Try checking the data for an FX1 on schrs. You will find the main/mast area is wrong. If you put the correct data in it sails off 101.
SCHRS thinks crew is just ballast. Although the crew has 2 hands available as compared to the helm's one (assuming he holds the tiller with one!) the is no consideration of this.
I was talking to a Spitfire sailor who tells me they are considering making the Spitfire heavier by a few kgs. This would take the schrs from 104 to 105. Also they have been trying a larger kite to the max dimensions for schrs. (I think this kite was tried at Aruba?)
Are we all going mad? Surely wee should be tweaking the system to reflect the boat's performance not tweaking the boat to suit an unsatifacory system?
How do we put more pressure on SCHRS. Maybe a consolidated effort?
