don't talk to him, don't even look, then he'll go back to whereever he was.... presumably not anger management classes

No not really, nothing ironic about the post cup cake? Thought you were also done with the forum Duncan? |

I think that's fair. I like that the D-Zero isn't silly strict. We're all sailing the same hull, foils, spars and sail so the fundamental platform remains the same with some room to play with control purchase, where you lead the control tails too (provided you don't pierce the hull) etc... We've even had a guy rig up a method to tune his traveller position from the driving seat so he can change gear during a race perhaps more efficiently than others could. For me and others in the fleet, it strikes a good balance between seriously strict SMOD and something a little more flexible without opening things up to such an extent that its difficult to tell what won the race. |

I think there are people for whom the inability to change anything in class rules is a positive advantage. It means you can just turn up each Sunday, confident the boat is just right, and if something needs fixing you just order up the standard item. It makes for a simple life. Wouldn't suit me, but vive la difference and all that. Edited by JimC - 18 Mar 16 at 4:57pm |

Err, no I wasnt, just dont see why you wouldnt something so minor. What advantage does it give apart from ensuring more people can get through a windy gybe without a swim. Not my class, but I would vote for it.
