Jason,

My only concern with completely removing the weight restriction on spinnaker cloth is that it would be a real temptation for people to have a light air spinnaker and a separate heavy air spinnaker. Currently, the class rules are written to explicitly prevent boats from carry different special purpose spinnakers.

With respect to allowing AIRX500, I have two questions 1) is it cheaper than 0.6 oz poly, and 2) is it more durable than poly. I suppose the lighter weight would make AIRX500 better in light air, but is the added performance worth having everybody get a new spinnaker?

Thanks

Dan
