Its more expensive to build an F18 at 180kg than it is to do it at 165kg..

Macca,
I find your statement very interesting, since most Infusions weigh quite a bit more than the 180KG baseline (or most other F18 brands for that matter).
For instance, the boat sailed by Franck Cammas weights in at 187.2KGs.
