I challenge each of you to focus on the solution. The problem to solve is increase one design participation. I wonder how many sailing programs have .5 oz spinnakers to remain competitive in PHRF racing fleets. Of these sailors, how many do not race one design regatta(s) because they have a .05 oz spinnaker but not a .75 oz due to limitation of funds.
I personally think, if we have two sail options upwind, why not have two sail options downwind? We have both .5oz and .75oz spinnakers, so there is no cost impact for Team Zephyr with this rule change.
