If you don't want spinnakers on the H16 then please vote, your vote is really important. If I understand correctly they will continue to use the H16 without spinnakers but will add a spinnaker event for those interested in spinnaker racing. I do believe at the ISAF worlds the spinnaker is a test event along with the standard youth event. Also the H16 will continue to be the youth boat through 2004, and then reviewed in 2005. Actually the youth multihull boat is reviews regularly. The ISAF has indicated that even in 2005 when the youth boat will be reviewed again it is very unlikely that the H16 will be replaced, as there simply is not a multihull class as strong, that is continuing to grow like the H16 class, and has as good manifacture support.

Last time I heard they are looking at an official junior multihull for ages 11-15.

I for one can take or leave the spinnaker idea. I do enjoy spinnaker racing, but actually enjoy the H16 more without it. As for the H16 being supplied stock with a spinnaker that is very unlikely as I know Hobie USA has no plans to sell the H16 stock with spinnakers, it will be an option only.

And yes lets let the Tiger be the official spinnaker boat, I think your right on.
