Here's a question... who came up with the formula? Seriously. Go back far enough and there's probably like one or two guys who got behind the original concept. And when was the last significant change to the formula? I don't mean changing the dimensions of the paddle or limits on carbon fiber, but substantive changes like hull width or volume.

Also, I've only read bits here and there about an inordinate number of protests at Worlds... anyone who was there able to talk about that? Someone cited 20 protests a day?! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
