[edit] Context

I've removed the tag saying the article provides insufficient context for unfamiliar readers. Without the article becoming a general sailing article, there is almost no way to discuss the class in such a way as to be accessible by someone completely unfamiliar with sailing. Links to relevant articles within the article should provide context as necessary. Madness 20:44, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trapeze experiment

I think I remember that Peter West was the man on the trapeze (sailing), and that ironically he was invited to draft the rule banning its use. (Source: his autobiography? or a history of the International 14?) Can anyone confirm this? GilesW 16:48, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
