Holger, you are actually right. I checked it now, and pure racing craft dont need to go trough the CE process. It have to be marked an sold as a racing craft to be compliant tough. I dont know the details in this, but if the F-16 is a pure racing craft it looks like there is a loophole available?
Boats built for racing are CE exempt. Building boats to the F16 class formula makes this very clear as far as the regulations are concerned.
The papaerwork though to get a Class D for a beach cat is not difficult. We do CE certs for some of our other customers regularly. It mainly involves a bunch of paperwork and some additional record keeping.
