You have a class in it's infantasy, with a hand full of boats being sailed around the world, still looking for main player manufactures to get involved,you have countries with out associations, a country with 20 boats sailing under the radar and there is talk of adding a wing to the rules.
It dosn't even make interesting reading.

A bit harsh but true.
None of this has any real relavance to the Class organization, and presents a real deterent to the continued growth of the class.
Being at least partialy involded in all of these options and being someone who is interested in their potential, someday I would like to find the time to dabble myself. But, I would not want any of these things incorporated into the F16 though as it does not make sense.
To really make foils an advantage, the beam is way to small on our boats. To gain any real advantage with a wing both the beam and water length are too small. To have a 2 man boat that has good pitch numbers the length needs to closer to 18 feet. All of these items point to an already existing class - 18SQ If you guys really want to dable, you need to dirrect your verbal efforts on reviving this class.
