I'd love to see a worldwide 18HT class. I accept it'll probably never happen. but it would be cool to at least have 'pockets' of 18HTs around the world. I'd imagine that if the same level of development went into them as goes into the current F18s we'd be seeing them up there boat-for-boat with the I20s etc.

Bill, if you're getting a genuine resurgence in interest in the class in the US and you all agree that the rules should be tweaked, why don't you do it? You could be on to the beginning of something great......
