The goldfish no longer fits in D class due to it's modded Yanmars. so it's in C (with your 300's I guess) but that is a pretty unique example and difficult to set the rules against. as far as...

Or XS200's. Easier & cheaper to find/buy, cheaper to run and cheaper entries.

Yes, using the UIM method for length and assuming 7'1" beam it's just in.

I guess so, However, to conform, it should weigh 3300 KG's and have a beam of 7'6" which might not suite the narrow, relatively light P28, but I suppose the grandfather thing might get you through...

With respect to Scotts issue this year, I would ask for dispensation on the grounds that although they're above the allowed capacity, they're only stock 225's. I can't imagine anyone would object....

Short / lightweight!! na, I think 28' is a pretty average size for E class, and 32 the same for D.
Remember, ours is a very large boat for E, but that was our choice. And when the classes get up to...

I think it is, as this just highlights that yet another bit is broken.

I'm saying that the min length should be higher. also, does the R29 definitely fit? And you know better than most that I certainly don't think a rubber collar improves the boat, I'm just saying that...

Measured mine today. 27'10" LOA (inc rub rail bow to stern)

UIM method, 26'7", which if you subtract the 2" for the transom plant for OB's appears to tie in with the others.
