An account from the 2006 Soling Worlds

Many classes have max constant wind limits.
The reason being that the boats are unsailable at much above those
limits because of crew weight restrictions and the huge sail area that
many carry.
To fit reefing points goes totally against the one design concept
because suddenly someone can have a smaller sail when there are limits
in place not only for max but also min sail measurements.
Why have limits on minimum sail measurements?
