There was general discussion around the current Deep Vee Hull rules being out of step with current technology and design especially when compared with fullsize race boats and what is available commercially.

M Bindon to ask B Gutsell to pass on final results so they can be loaded to the forum and send onto P Collier for inclusion in the next Propshaft.
