Wingnuts and Imedi, both wound up being safety equipment failures in some form or another and both happened in the last decade. Which other race has had a safety record like that in the last Decade? Fastnet Race? RORC 600? Middle Sea? Hobart? Bermuda?

Considering the Mac race is one of the few distance races in the country which regularly sees deaths on the race, I think anyone complaining about safety requirements is not acknowledging the reality of the race. People dunk on the Bermuda Race for having onerous safety requirements but there haven't been fatalities in that race in its entire history.

Can ORR/ORR-EZ Rating System allow diversity?
jackolantern replied to AClass USA 230's topic in Sailing Anarchy
What Lance won't tell you is that more and more races are switching from ORR to ORC. Skip the 1990s tech that makes up ORR and just go ORC, which by the way, creates ratings for Multihulls -

There’s nothing more than a rendering looking for an owner to find Shaun’s expensive (even for an NA) lifestyle.

Is anyone out there making lightweight or titanium sheaves? I know Harken makes ball bearing ones but none of their dimensions work. I have an awfully heavy tulip at the top of the rig. -
Unless you're in certain areas which recognize you can't sail a Windward/Leeward regatta with a Code 55 and only apply the rating hit to the distance rating for that boat.
