<DIV>Dean,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I agree 100% about keeping the size down.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I may be remembering incorrectly, but I thought the 2m limit
preceded the unlimited displacement. If it did, though, it was by only
one rules cycle.</DIV>

that the 2M rule happened in the same stroke as the elimination of
displacement limits. The sub-committee realized that displacement was
the "real" limit back then, and now we have the situation where
sometimes it's 2M, and other times it's weight that is the "real"
limit. You know ... I think that means that they got it "right" the
first time! It's just rough to be one of those guys up against the
weight. Designers ... how about some top-notch designs in a 72" span,
designed to go like mad with a muffled 140 2-C or 140 FZ?<BR><BR>Deep
