Regarding F18s replacing H16s at the PanAm Games - That discussion will be happening at the Games, and the HCA Chair, Bob Merrick is already in on the discussion. This proposal was offered by some South American F18 fleets as an idea - it did not come from NAF18, HCANA, ISAF or IHCA. The US SAILING rep at the meeting following the Games has been brought up to speed on the topic. I think it is very unlikely in the short term - the idea is in its infancy. But there are some good points - pros and cons on each side of the issue. We'll see what happens in Rio.

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.
