Next question would be how is the success/failure of the changes going to be measured at the end of the year to determine if they should be discarded, stay in place or be tweaked again ?

Fair point, but WHY should allowing pumping actually promote sailing?
I know what pumping did in windsurfing - it played a massive part in destroying the fleets.

Cindy Taylor said:I don't think that this rule will help my racing, but I do think that the display of the flag should be accompanied by a sound, like when the course is changed. You know you are talking about a bunch of older sailors with bad eyesight.
Now, what can we do to help the light weights sail up the windward leg on a windy day?
