Forming One Design Fleet

PHRFGB site was hacked.  It is being worked on by the web hosting company.  They say 24-48 hrs to bet it up and running again.

I'd be glad to share those bylaws.  I think you might get the idea that we were a bunch of paranoid lawyers from reading it.  But then . . . maybe we were.
Basically you make some decisions like some of the following, and write the rules to make it happen. 
Is it an exclusive thing or can anyone play?
Owner driven or rock-stars permitted
Limits:
PHRF band
SA/D limits
D/L limits
"At the time GBCA had a definition of "Sport boat" involving these two parameters)
Sprit/Assym boats allowed or Not
Deviations from stock?

Despite all our yelling about getting away from handicaps, in the end we decided to use them to help keep people's interest.  We did want to experiment with "better" handicap methods, but could not get ratings for a couple of the boats.  So in essence our group really just wanted to usurp the organizing authority's choice of rating bands.
