For those of you who have not been reading the posts in the other threads.



There is a Formula 22 series under development and input is appreciated.



There is only one true 22 foot boat already in production the SC/ARC 22. Its specs are as follows.



Designer

Roberts / Haberman



Specifications



LOA: 22 ' 0" (6.71 m)

LWL: 21 ' 9" (6.63 m)

Minimum Weight: 415 lbs. (188.24 kg)

Spar: 38' 6" (11.73 m)

Maximum Sail Area: 360 sq. ft. (33.45 m2)

Beam: 12 ' 0" (3.66 m)

Draft, Rudders only: 2 ' 0" (0.61 m)

Draft, Board down: 4 ' 0" (1.22 m)



According to many other professional designers/builder a new technology 22 footer can be built in the 325-350 lbs range. Preliminary designs are for a uni-rig boat with a snuffer and a crew of two.



Question. Should a formula be drawn to allow boats of different sailplans to race within the SA max under one formula?



Question. Should an unmodified sc22 be allowed to compete as long as the boat falls WITHIN the formula rules?
