Weight equalisation

   What's needed more is height equalisation.    

I can see the benefit of racks extending further out, had them on the EPS and the Blaze and if I recall the MPS also had variable racks, or maybe not and my guy wanted them the class didn't so he left the class. Interesting the RS 700 does, or does it and doesn't everyone cheat anyway?

I'm thinking platform soles for the Contender and also wonder wether a high or low hook is a better option and when.

	My personal theory is weight equalisation was initially a marketing ploy which spread in the UK due to the unique market where we had RS, Topper and Laser all banging out t*t for tat models, some successfully and some not so

	The only active (though not very) classes I can think of are ISO, Laser 4000 and RS 600.
