just a thought.. rather than have a fixed weight .. what about having a floating boat/hull/platform weight.. ie start with a set limit.. 100 kg or whatever.. then have the clause..
<br>all boats at the "worlds" are weighed (as they need to be anyway) without correctors..
<br>the average then becomes the new weight for 2 or 3 years.. provision may be placed that hull weigh may only drop by 2 kgs per 2 or whatever set time.. This allows for the gradual reduction in class weight without obsoleteing the fleet overnight.. a mix of development and restraint .. <br><br>
