I think even the mainsail+jib combo for the new Tornado is too much for the B-class limit.

If we extended the limit to also include the spi's then we loose all distinction between B,C and D classes. Afterall a F18 has more combined sailarea then both a C and D class when counting the spi area. In short the old A,B,C and D class structure is not suitable to be used anymore. Besides the very open structure of the limits killed its succes as it is too unlimited. In effect only the A's survived in any serious sense.

Better to start a new.
