Scooby,
Personally I see this glitch as a fault in the SCHRS handicap system rather then in the F16/F18/F20/A-cat class rules setup.
It should not be the responsibility of sailboat classes to correct an anomaly in a handicap system.
That is where we differ in opinion.

So you would propose that plates are removed from the calculation of (any) handicap system as they do not effect performance ?
