How can you even consider that the thread is off track??

The original question was asking if big manufacturers would be of benefit to the class if they were to build an F16 compliant boat.

The discussion has evolved to how the current builders are faring with meeting the current class rules particularly with regards to meeting the min weight rule. This has a major bearing on whether the big manufacturers actually get involved!!

So we are still very much ON topic here.

Just because the answers are not to your liking, the thread is still valid and moderators would be censors if they shut it down now.
