On the survey, I was wondering of the 12 of 21 votes for somehow altering the weight limit; how many of those were unique votes. Do over 1/2 of the votes cast indicate further dialogue necessary on the framework of the weight limit?

Also, of the votes cast, how many are going to make an effort to support the LD Fun Series as a Series in total. If for example there are six boats committed to the LD Fun, and they all voted for no weight limit, then I think there should be no weight limit.

I'd also like to suggest that once the series participants are known; and perhaps each us us should indicate our prime series interest, then, shouldn't the LD/Fun Series interested boats be able to define the rules which make that series a stand alone series. And, I suggest this is the important consideration; a stand alone series. These suggestions because I don't believe boats who are not interested in the LD/Fun series, should quite frankly, have as much weight in the say for this series.
