I think you have missed the point of why they are updating the rule, it
is to quash the rating bandits and help other classes get back into the
game again. All the best

Luckily I've still got my standard Hurricane. Maybe I'll use that for Handicap rather than the Tornado People will always moan about Handicaps and you can't please everybody all of the time. As long as the mods are transparant and there can be no accusation of favouritism then there can't be a problem imho.

that would annoy the spitfire boys as the boat has always rated so well as it was designed for the rules

I have a lot of faith in that the new updates to beam RM and maybe the
blade area's V aspect ratio will solve the major holes in SCHRS. It
will
be interesting to see how the public react to the changes, for example
take the
H5.9 standard and the Spitfire, what will happen if the H5.9 goes up a
few points because of the narrow beam and the Spitfire now is on the
wrong side of the rounding up of the numbers and drops a few points,
will they be protest and calling foul?

There must be some gain with "less Kg up top", but as you say it was difficult to "prove" and so it was just a "gut feeling mod". With all these things there are a number of options we could do, however (my opinion for now) is that we need macro fix(s) to the rule quickly and then (if there is a need) we can look at minor tweaks later. For example we could consider adding the weight of the mast as a parameter, not just the overall weight of the boat. I repeat COULD. If there is sound science (and measurable within the rule) then we may consider it. (how amy "may's" and "could" can I get in one post |

The point about the CMP was that it had no real sound basis for being imposed. Just a gut feeling on someone's part that a lighter mast should be a performance gain..... In practice it seems that any gain is too small to be measured and rated consistently. |
