There you go again Greg-totally wrong! Getting to be a habit with you!
I’m 100% AGAINST any change in rules in the US One Meter Class!
But Todd speculated ,I think, earlier or else I am now that certain so called loopholes would be closed up at the end of the coming season(RULE CHANGE). And since the class is organized the way it is I would be VERY surprised that if Hal and/or Will are succesfull with their canting masts that they might all of a sudden become illegal.
After all, in the Moth Class even though foils were legal when one guy showed that they could win and by big margins certain elements of the class went for a RULE CHANGE to ban them. Because the Moth is the most progressive full size development class in the world they were defeated.
The gains to be made with a canting mast are great-not as great as with a canting keel in some conditions- but great nonethe less.
Will everybody convert to a canting mast or vote them out?
Huh, Greg?
