I'll bite...

good topic since i've been debating having our local sailmaker make a new jib for my N20. One thing that would need to start it is to decide how much deviation you want to make from the original sail plan. This may be hard to come up with since the class rules don't give any measurements for the sails, only simply stating that they must be made to the patterns held by PC and made by a licensed sail maker. So what do you want?? same area, and no other restrictions other than mast height (like the formula classes) or make it more restrictive with girth requirements at various locations (like the tornados)? I kinda like the idea of doing it like the formula classes, but with either, how do we control measurement? Again, I think it is a great idea, but I think we would need to come up with a rule before people start making whatever they want (how many different sail plans have you seen on a N6.0?? - don't want that, if we want to race one design)

I think the bottom line is that in this case, we need to take control of the class and form an owner run class. anyone else???
