BUT, then the boats will not be "identical" Why not allow the option of,
say a 'restricted' number of the clam cleats like we now use?????
Why must we be restricted to a manufacturer that seems to want to "gouge"
us???
Yea, a hundred bucks or so for a multiplecleat fitting wouldn't be a HUGE
investment for you, or me, but how about the family with a couple of
'juniors' who need the upgrade because they are small and need the
improvement???? They don't "have to" make the upgrade, but isn't this
defeating the purpose of allowing the changes??????
ALSO... another soapbox dance...WHEN did the class vote to allow the "NEW"
boards that are thinner than the template, the ones that slap back and forth
in the slot???
