The 3 boat one design class (J109) this weekend is exactly what I've been talking about in regards to class splits. There could be a great class A with the 122, c&c115 and 3 J109s. Then have the rest of the boats Melges 24, J-80, j-92s, J-70 and Pingo in Class B. I would also add in the Ben 25 (which is another reason not to split the "factory vs non factory sprits". When was the last time you saw 8 boats in a under 30' class with all relatively similiar design on GB?
Where will the class split be if the 109s have there own class? It's not fair racing for either end of the spectrum in the PHRF group. I never recall sitting in a PHRF committee meeting and someone on the board ask "how well will a J-122 sail against a J-80"? PHRF works with similiar boats of similiar size.
Just my thoughts!
