Few rules are stupid to the class that agrees them...

But often that's not the case Jim.

Most of the "stupid" rules are put in by the original class designers/builders of one-designs. sometimes they seem like a good idea at the time (but turn out not to be), and sometimes they are driven by current materials and/or cost.

I don't know of many instances where a class has introduced additional new rules, usually they are trying to delete them.

Not sure: I suspect you're experience might be a bit biased by the classes you've sailed. I'll try and research that tonight taking the ISAF submissions for the Int Classes as a guide. Too big a job to do at work.

Just spent a good quarter of an hour or so going through class rule amandments on ISAF website. Ennui has set in... Tha vast majority are fidling details of measurement, but of those that aren't I reckon the majority are increasing restriction. The only notable exceptions that I spotted were classes permitting carbon spars.

Ahh, but then I'd be a p*ssed sad old git instead of a sober one, and that's marginally worse...

Just hope it's blowing its tits off, as we'll be somewhat lacking in the No.1 rig department.
