Only with the written agreement of the Class in question if the class rules allow it (Rule 87). Which is why you cannot have an SI that allows the use of non-class legal sails in certain classes.

So if a class is trialing an idea and has given dispensation to a boat, it is possible for them to use it at an event like the BM, if the class (not the sailors) go through the correct procedures, and the event agrees. |

In theory if a boat has dispensation to try something then you could argue that is class compliant.
In practice if this is a development that may have a performance advantage then trialling it at anything other than a specific class event could (and has) been seen as bad form (tape drive sails for one, I am sure we all remember that).

But what if say someone decided to graft an Alto rig on a Fireball for example, how would that play out?

Effectively, you then have a new class, and will be issued a handicap based on a process you feel is wrong...

Of course I'd tell them when entering it wasn't a pucker Fireball - Not, so then what? It would fall to protest I guess especially if all the other Balls had their Fur ruffled..

Didn't a Bosun sail with a whacking great assy a few years back? and get a 2nd place, or something, off the proper handicap?

I think a fireball would be perfect to fix that swinging pole Alto style into the nose and with the carbon Alto rig, not sure on the kite size, never sailed a fireball, they go when it's windy which tends to suggest underpowered by modern 'go fast in a force three' standards.
Have you checked out Tom Gruits QM photos, some Fireball folk in fact not only Fireball, lots of smiles and grins from lots of folk clearly having a blast, made me feel quite envious and a necessity to kick my own ass for not going.

Yes, but It then retired from the race. Remember the RS800's used the event a a test bed to try the new rules sails prior to being voted in.
