Good point on the new model boats being heavier, not to mention how much harder it is to access the Yanmar. Any thoughts on the weight of new model over old? I would love to get into one design but I keep running into more things to buy (dacron or pentex main versus Q kevlar I have). I know the design rules (dacron/pentex price versus kevlar on main) is meant to keep prices down but are we missing the boat with such strict interpretations on so many other issues? Another issue is the rudder. Did we ever get an approved replacement? Mine is split and I had it fixed, or so I thought.
