Okay, I'll bite ...
typical...instead of asking why a rule that you don't understand might be in place, you assume you know everything and choose to redicule it and the class management.
Can anyone tell me why limiting the upward prebend of the mainbeam to only 15 mm is included in the F18 rule set.
And don't tell me it is cost as there is no reason why you can't achieve larger prebend values by cranking up the dolphinstriker tension.
also :
It has to do with cost. Its much cheaper to extrude a straight section than a curved on. wouter, figure it out!
This quote assumes that there is some benefit to having curved beams otherwise no builder would even consider making extra cost and investing extra effort to get them. If such a reason is not present then having such a rule is useless as it would only ban something that nobody is considering anyway.
Please entlighten my ignorant behind ! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
