Bill, Thom and Wf.



I do believe that the sc22 is a great boat. However, it is out of my control to say the series will be run on a specific platform. The series staff and myself have asked for input from designers, builders, sailors, sponsors, broadcasters, and publishers. Most of this input has been that the series bring in new ideas and technologies in the form of Formula racing.



I believe that there will be only 2-3 different boats on the course at best. So in car terms it will be a ford,chevy,dodge showdown much as in nascar. The only difference really is in the bodywork, car setup and driver. I know that this is a very simple way to look at it but, the idea is to develop first and then control the crazies. Most teams/builders will take the straight, narrow and reliable because there is no money to be made if your always broken down.



Oh yes and the series limits a team to how many parts/boats a team can have during a season so to limit the overall costs. Much in the way that IRL and other car series have done.
