The f18 does have sail plan and crew weight rules which equal the boats and crew according to the crew weights. The F16 does not have that. Are you saying that the F16 is going to sail 10 regattas-5 light air and 5 heavy air to make it fair for both crews? If you had 10 heavy air regattas and no light air regattas the light crews would soon say I don't have a chance to win why even go. Same thing if you had light air regattas with the heavy teams.

The F16 just does not have a level playing field as far as crew weights go, in my opinion.
