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

Wouter,
Things change.
I think (and I am not sure) that they cut a few inches off and re-profiled the leading edge slightly.
I don't have an Inter 17 any more so I'm just interested in a passing kind of way.
Does it radicaly change the world. Nope.
Does it really matter to us who do not sail the boat - Nope.
I also said years ago (when I had one) that the plates were too big, It's a good thing that thay have changed them I feel, do you disagree ?
People do research and learn stuff, this means they change stuff. That is how it is supposed to work.....
