I for one think its great that the jib main combination has and is working to build our Class in your Region. I'm sure you folks up there know what will work to help you maitain and grow. We are growing the Class and the North Americans in our Region very successfully using what works for us. Seems we could all better serve the Class Association by maintaining the choice and felxiblity that we enjoy now with the Class legal sails. Many folks do enjoy the Genoa as the many post here indicate and the choice of headsails gives the Class a wider range appeal for more sailors you would admit I hope.
Lets work together rather than trying to force solutions on each other that limit.
Sail the Western Nationals, in any configuration you feel will best serve you well, but please allow us the same rights to keep our option of contiune to try to grow in the traditional way that has served the Class very well for 30 years.
