The class rules allowing to cut down the plates predates the introduction of the F17 name by about 2 years.
Either way my statement of 6.5 years back has been proved correct. They were the wrong boards for a single hander.
Do you know if the I-17R version had the longer or shorter boards ?
It is hard to keep track of all the differences between the different versions of the nacra I-17's
