I am not saying that 12mR is the only way to go, I say that match racing should be match racing, not an ultra-high tech computerized drag race in super expensive machines that are so complex that they have extremely little in common with anything else that floats on the water. Untill now there has been very few races in which the result was not predictable a few minutes after the start. And due to the boat speed the duration of each race is so short that it is almost impossible to recover from a mistake, bad wind shift or difficult position. TV/sponsor/onlooker-friendly - yes. Spectacular speed - yes. Fascinating boat engineering - yes. True match racing - sorry, no.
Sounds just like Formular 1 cars....
