Interesting this should come up. As CD for the 2002 NATS HL, I was planning to allow multiple ships for the contest as I did back in 2000. But this was not approved as a deviation of "The" rules of AMA for the NATS. I think in HL multiple ships are very appropriate, reynolds numbers are low and ballasting is very limited, so changing conditions can really eat up the performance of a given ship (someone needs to write a rule change to this effect so we can do it at the NATS). But in 2M, Unlimited, RES and NOS, it is nice to have a backup, but I feel that the rule as is is as much a strategy thing as anything and as stated makes you pick your weapon and modify (ballast) as it happens.
