Oh and in regard to the mold, the $1,000 I mentioned in the other thread is a <u>deposit</u>.
The Class owns the mold. You get your deposit back if you return the mold (in good condition). Also, their will be a licensing fee that all suppliers pay to the Association for each hull generated. Furthermore each hull must be properly registered by the supplier prior to it leaving his control.
Treasure seems to think that the new mold is something different, when it actually is not. All this WHOLE STANDARD is about.. is just that.
READ THIS CAREFULLY AS YOU HAVE MISSED THE WHOLE POINT.
Instead of having each individual manufacturer, make their OWN mold from the master plug, one manufacturer is making the molds for ALL manufacturers to use. That's right, ALL the molds, come from the SAME plug which was a pristine `95 Standard HULL. There <u>were No changes made to it.</u> They are all made by the same shop, in the same way, so that each supplier will have EXACTLY the same tool to work with.
Even in your 26 years of this Class Steve, and all your insight, your group has not taken this step to insure that all boats are this identical.
If you want in, get on the list, and Good Luck to you and your mates, because that being said, it's complete/over/done with/ finis/beendet. If you chose to go ranting about how great you have everything figured out the first time, it will be just that... ranting.
