Also the bigest hurdle (change from current status) is the class rules would have to be ratified by ISAF and this is no easy task.
Well we have just gone through this and ratified out class rules with a Member ISAF for our 18HT class. It is sure possible, it takes some time and now it is done.
The 18HT class is now a official 'Swiss Sailing B Class'.
IMO, ISAF ist the way to go.
It would be a great boost for the F16 class to get ISAF recognised status (at least) or international status. This would clearly show that the class has left its 'children's shoes' and is getting stable and serious.
Not that I think it is not stable and serious <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
