I had forgotten about the PHRF one design rule in your area. I looked it up awhile ago and understand your issue - though I believe it to be only a local issue - others can weigh in on that one
My concern is that it appears that J/30 one design racing will continue to decline I.E nationals. Adding another sail to the inventory for one design will increase the cost and potentially further deter involvement. I think I am qualified to say I'm invested in one design, 4 nationals, 2 mid winters (800-1000 mi one way trips). The cost for me is huge already; an extra main - my choice, maintaining an inventory of good sails for 1 design, a trailer, vehicle to tow it, cost of transporting the boat across country (fuel-permits-time $2-3k transport cost each trip). I really don't want to have to buy another sail
Further, as mentioned, I have a 1/2 oz kite, sail in a light air arena, and hardly ever use it. Not sure I'd buy another for PHRF racing
Bottom line I don't want to and won't fight this fight. I'm committed to one design, you bums are like heroin dealers, I'm hooked. I'm 68 on a fixed income now and not sure how many more nationals I have left - need you folks to go easy on me
