Hi,
I saw the footage about the Aero foils. Does anyone think  that we could retrofit the rudder on the 100? It looks much cooler than ours, and from what I read there's been quite some development behind, so it should be also more efficient.

Hi Alberto,
 

Errm no we sail a one design class.

If we change anything fundamental we become a development class and there are enough of those for anyone to choose.

Thanks Tim for the comment, but I'd like to say two things. First, OD is only for racing, so I think I can modify things for fun or to increase my knowledge (keeping reasonable safety). Second, in case people find that they really like the new part, the Class can vote a change. Being the case a substitution of one OD part with another OD part by the same dealer, I see it very easily accomplished. Of course frequent changes are undesirable in a OD class, but no changes at all seems to me even worse. I think some discussion is beneficial for keeping people interested.

Good point Alberto, although I would still council caution, I have seen to many boats developed so fast and so far that it became to expensive for the average sailor. The boat becomes a class for the wealthy and the grass roots of our sport is left behind, but as you say a limited development is to be encouraged so the boat does not stagnate.
