There have been in the past several, well, pushing the 
envelope of one design standards. Cellar jacks under the 
mainbeam, installing lower HP., lighter, more compact 
(installed as far forward in the engine compartment as 
possible)engines, owning two Albergs, one for cruising, 
one for racing.

Mike Lehman raises a good point: no one wants to go around 
policing boats for compliance. It really is supposed to be 
a gentleman's sport, but how far does one really have to 
travel to get to the spectacle of match racing team NZ 
giant monohull vs. team Dennis Connor multihull?

My thinking is the protest route is the most pragmatic way 
of dealing with the issue. Race, and if you win, espect a 
rules committee visit. Every owner can decide for himself 
if the modification he makes is worth risking forfeiture 
of silver. Kinda self regulating, huh?
