Might you suggest a compromise Capt Vic?
Would it look like:
"J/30 OD mains are dacron. J/30 handicap mains are open/composite."
I thought we just put that issue to bed twice and for all so I'm not going to be the one to suggest that we put this out for discussion. But it crossed my mind that this might make sense on some ridiculous level.

The local fleets have the ability to modify class rules if desired for their events If a given fleet elected to approve alternate materials they may perhaps in doing so it will allow for a better evaluation of Dacron vs plastic for both performance and life
The lack of hard data on performance vs cost to purchase vs life expectancy was key in the vote that was made

Gents, It's time to move on, the Association has decided. I'll do my best to quit being a dh about the sail. Bottom line, I still want to race One Design. But, I'm still going to race PHRF agressively and maintain my high tech sail inventory too since that will be the majority of my sailing. So... and I ask this seriously, what are my options for a "cost effective" way to get a competitive "white - ugh" main. Vic - want to team up and go halfsees on a new main for NO and the next on after that? I'll drive one, you drive the next. I probalby shouldn't hold out any hope of Bob buying me one? (alright that was ajoke)
