I think that Steward has made a good point. why not, as he put it , :
<br>
<br>*********
<br>fix the max pole length forward of the bow and max draw height of the genacker
<br>**********
<br>
<br>We have done the first if I understand the wording of the draft rules correctly.
<br>
<br>And I assume the draw means something like "vertical projection" of the genaker luff analogue to wingspan on swept wing aircraft.
<br>
<br>A rule fixing this would be simple, easy to understand and truelly equal to all while being independend of things like mast height and mast rake. So now we have lost one argument which was forcing us to fix the maximum mast height.
