Hi Peter, Being a Q&R professional it is always a problem when you duplicate the numbers from a standard rather than reference the standard.
Actually Fleet 8 struck off on their own for a while and had a different numbers, and were not actually racing one-design. I pushed through a ballot measure a few years ago to synchronize the standards on the understanding that Fleet 8 would stop using their own. The ballot measure passed but it sounds like the Fleet 8 Bylaws were never changed so they referenced the ODA standard rather than duplicate it implying they intent to maintain local control and therefore could stop racing to the ODA rules at their whim.

Once you enter a race not conducted by Fleet 8 the IC27/270A one-design class rules apply.
