Yes, I know. but the fact remains, they differ from what left TWG. also, besides Cats, there seems to have been a load of small additions, such as race number prefix's etc that were not there before....

Point taken, but who in their right mind would enter a 24' boat in A class Marathon? (or even a 21 if your example were actualy allowed)

Without being too accusing, all this talk about adding 700kg, or even 1000kg making a 40' boat dangerous, is I believe utter bollox. The one good thing about having to add weight is that you can add...
