Clearly you have not been in contact with The Bimare Yard or Kirt Simmons with regard to this issue. I know you haven't been in contact with me about it. And also you haven't been paying close attention to this forum page; Otherwise you would have known better.
Bim 16 sail number Ned016 proofs you are wrong. That boat will be sailing with us. You can travel the same road as the owner of Ned016 did and yes your javelin 16 sailnumber USA001 will not be treated differently.
With this I don't understand how you can claim that ;" ... has chosen to change their rules to exclude my forthcoming boat, ...".
With regard to starting your own class around the Javelin 16 design; it that an official statement ? If so than could you please inform Valerio Petrucci of the Bimare Yard of your (and your friends) decision. Because this descision would clearly superseat the current communication with the Bimare Yard.
Having said this I have a few questions for you ;
Which boat are you going to sail next season; the F18HT jav2 you have bought or the Javelin 16 you have "on order" ?
Reference : "... recently, when I was changing boats from an A-Cat to a F-18HT. .... , but what really matters is that I am going F18Ht now." (18HT forum :

What aroused your interest in the Formula 16 class, mr Jones ? From your posts on the 18HT forum which can be seen at :
http://wfo3.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=usersrecentposts&user=NacracandoIt seems you are a Jav 2 sailor.
But in catsailor posts you are a Jav 16 sailor; look at ::
http://www.catsailor.com/forums/dos...archpage=0&Limit=25&Old=allpostsDid you buy both boats ? But than why do you say on 16 okt 2002 in post :
http://www.catsailor.com/forums/sho...amp;Main=11789&Search=true#Post11871"I am VERY excited about this new boat, as the "smaller" F-18HT is just the ticket for my son. Once he grows, then we can go F-18HT or other larger cat."
When on 3 okt 2002 in post :
http://wfo3.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&num=1033649791You indicate that you have bought a Jav 2 F18HT.
What is it Jav 16 or Jav 2 or have you bought both designs together ?
Now when you ara a Javelin 16 owner (on order) why didn't you vote in the Formula 16 rules ballot. I mean you are very vocal about your opinion on the matter but despite that you choose not to participate in the vote. Why, it would have been the ideal way to influence the outcome ?
Please answer those questions for me; I would apprecaite it if you could clear up my confusion here.
Regards,
Wouter
