Actually there is a provision in the F16 class rules that allows such an experimental craft to be scored !

I included that intentionally together with the more strict nature of the class rules so that the class would have tools to fight a mass scare among the f16 sailors but still allow the class to continiously orientate on new improvements that could later be included in the F16 setup when proven to be effective, accessible and relatively inexpensive.

It all comes down to the Governing council of the moment in how and if they put these given tools in use.

But back to topic now, the new A-cat with a wing sail ! I must say that it does interest me enormously and I'm looking forward to spectating the A-cat worlds again since the wave piercer hull was introduced (10 years?).
