Why do select numer of people insist on requiring a "Class" to develope their concepts?

No one is stopping anyone from taking a boat and adding foils, wings, or any number of other mdifications. If you can make it work, great, start your own class.

Most people can not admit that they are the issue with their getting better results in their sailing. It has to be the result of their boat, or their rake, or thier weight, not the fact they are not as good a sailor as the person who beat them. A class needs at least some consistancy to grow. I am all for radical ideas and development, but it does not mesh with a large class organization. I love the F16 concept and would like to see a world wide class not just a few guys tinkering in their garrage.

You want to get really radical, there is a group for you. Give Steve Clark a call and get into the C class.
