modified one designs

I guess that will steered by the initial group of owners.  No class rules yet, no class association, no bullsh*t, but admitted some apprehension with any new class without this stuff locked down before paying up the balance.  

It's a tricky one- one of the beauties of the boat is the simplicity of the design.  I certainly don't want to feel that I need to move the cleats to the sides and have all that continuous nonsense just to remain competitive.  I liked the position of the controls- out the bloody way up front and de-cluttered.    

So if asked to vote on that aspect, e.g. re-locating control line termination points, I'd probably vote to restrict it, despite very much falling in line with the Icon / Blaze mindset in general terms....     

But anyone who thinks we would do this for every boat in the club just because Bert wanted to try a bigger sail or Fred wanted to add a couple of feet to his Laser has clearly never tried to run a results service for the club. I agree entirely with Nipper - it is just unfair on the people doing the duties.  It's bad enough faffing about in Sailwave when people change their crew every race...

Why? How does that affect you, particularly if the original design precludes that happening.

Changing hull shape , length, sail size of course, but the stuff on the top doesn't matter that much surely?

is it? where can i buy it? its a one off design, that design was taken and modified to form a class (nice one btw) but as i understand it punk is not compliant with D0 rules.

If Dan shows up with the Punk at a D-0 Class Event, I would hope no one would protest him for it...  but I guess that's just me.  Anyway, the AIUI the class rules are yet to be written, voted on and approved.  Who's to say the Punk won't be grandfathered in from the outset
