I actually raced a F16 with T-foils a few times and I know what kind of difference they can make. I've done some extensive modelling on them and again the benefits for my boat are undeniable.

Basically I know what I know and these T-foils are allowed in the F16 class, so what's up !

Besides I don't think there is any rule preventing tinkerers like myself from posting their thoughts, experiments and showing their enthousiasm. If that is intepreted by others as "pushing a concept" or "insinuating that F16's are not optimized" then that is really not a fault on my part.

If I hadn't tinkered with the 3-stage cascading internal downhaul then we would still be pulling our arms out with little sail response. Hell, we wouldn't even have a F16 class at all.

Sorry guys, I think we are getting a little bit to tight in our mindsets here.
