I like the freedom and the flexibility of option 6. By far my prefered option. Make boats the most equal and still allows creative equalisation for newbies and unlucky people who had a great dinner the evening before.
<br>
<br>Option 2 : I probably sail most in the solo configuration so I will just buy the minimum sized jib and race always. I'll just take the performance hit and beat you guys on exceptional good boat handling. Maximum hit performancewise according to Wouters Calculator is some 2,5 % sec. When I get a dedicated crew and race seriously I'll just buy an optimized jibsize.
<br>
<br>Option 7 : That is actually option 1 with the addition that a crew is allowed to -undo- their underweightness by carying weights. I do believe however that a the weigth range must be devided into blocks of say 5 kilograms. I haven't calculated this through.
