• Equal playing field for fiberglass and home built boats
• Clear guidelines on rig and sail minimums to avoid cost wars yet maintain fleet equality
• No monopoly suppliers – boat owners can source sails, foils, rigs, deckgear and the boats themselves from their own sources; they don’t have to buy overpriced class gear from a single monopoly supplier churning out overpriced low specification materials that merely have the class sticker on them to justify the price
• Ongoing development: the rules are managed by committee including Rob Shaw, Shaw650.com and a chosen class representative, who will ensure together that anomalies are managed and that future developments in yachting get included and embraced in the class rules, so the fleet remains fast, affordable, fun

Rules are available upon request for all potential buyers and for all owners.
