I guess as the boats were measured at the latest event and allowed to sail they are not hydrofoils!!!!!!
Someone must file a protest against the boat and as far as I know no one has bothered yet. But now the situation is a bit different and we might see protest from other sailors at the next big regatta.

But if a boat has passed measurement it's an A class; I'd expect you could protest that a boat no-longer is in the same state as it was when it was measured, but how can you protest that a boat that has a valid measurement cert is not an A class?, could open a massive can of worms if a boat is declared a valid A class (or any other class that "allows" them), and then protested and then declaired NOT at valid A class - this would
potentially negate all measurement certificates and all measurement at the event for this class.
I would have expected that when the measurer originally measured this boat, if they had convcerns, they would relay it to the class administration and they would have decided if these boats were valid A classes.
A decision could be made at a later date to ban them.......
