So you think a box rule iF20 would have succeeded.. If the rules were more open?
Ok ..
Say length 23 foot max Should account for all 20 footers and those close.. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
hull width 20 Should account for all 20 footers as well.. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Sail area open to make sure every boat can measure <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
No weight limit so everything can measure.. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Would this class succeed.. nope.. Because some would argue this would be "too open" a class.. Cant please everyone!!

The F16 rules are as open as we could make them and still allow fair building.
