If you're not going to be racing, fudging a little on what the rules allow isn't a big deal. Since my scale boats are going to be raced, I do need to follow the rules. That being said, even my sport 20 that I posted pictures of earlier in this thread is race legal. I probably won't ever race it since it's small(too small for me to really want to race it since it will be hard to see).
In the case of my Pay'N Pak build, I've not made much progress as I ordered a new set of plan sheets since the ones I have are getting very faded and hard to see. This was a few weeks ago so I may have to contact the vendor again to see what the word is on getting a new set of plans
