Were there not some out of class RS800's fairly well up the results?

 
Intrigued, could you expand on that?

Personally, I'm all in favour of people bringing experimental stuff to these events, it should just be a case of declaring it and another 'finger in the air' handicap consideration.

 
Agreed - big fuss about nothing IMHO (unless they win of course LOL).  Ask Daniel H what PY the Punk used with the newer sail...
 
I think the OP was more curious about the appendages, rather than complaining about infringements...

All I wanted to know is what they would be used for....

You never know, they might have declared it at entry?

If I put a trapeze on the 400, it would obviously warrant a significant PY change, but most of these mods are very marginal, maybe they should get a default 5 points or something?

Did anyone protest them? Did they retire admitting they were out of class?? With facts being known afterwards, could a protest be opened now? Possibly.. So protest them, or even QMSC could protest for entering an out of class boat...

Would it achieve much? Possibly not, but you could say it is a matter of principle...

Here's hoping that it is the worst indiscretion this winter season event, and that it doesn't have any effect on any overall results. After the last two years, the SJ can hardly be hoping for any more controversy.
Any comment from the 420 class association on the matter?

Yes they were small but of the two boats that launched before me, they were not of equal size or position.

Out of class I would expect.

According to the class rules I had a quick look at they don't even allow 'shaped foils', they have to be flat except for bevelling 105mm from the edges.

I can't see them going from flat foils to allowing wings...
