I don't want to see wings or foils in the F16 class either. But I would be interested to watch some other class develop them, see if maybe some day years from now, they could be fitted to other boats for improved handling and performance. I can understand the A class not wanting to see them either, those boats are already very expensive, who needs the added cost of new toys? So maybe (as I alluded to in one post) there could be a new class called, Mini C class, a one man, foiling, wing-sail, open development yet box rule (with a fixed hull length, width, wing area) class.

It took someone some kind of development to get from a Hobie 16 to the F-16's we have today, so I am not against development, but I also can't afford to do it myself. If Ben Hall wants to lead the way, more power to him. When he gets it all sorted out, and prices are affordable, maybe then we can add wings or foils or what ever. Just not today...
