The 07 and 08 AC results show that the F16 number needs to be addressed. I know this hurts one of the selling points of the boat and takes money out of the builder’s pocket, but it’s the right thing to do for the sport.
Matt may disagree with me, but I don't particularly see a favorable number as a selling point. I think a number that indicates performance close to F18 with 70 fewer kgs would be a bigger selling point. So a lower number would be a good thing. But I also agree that the normal Portsmouth process should be allowed to take its course.
