I actually speak for the basic premise on which the F16 class was formed. It is the same one that sees 2-up and 1-up F16 crews competiting directly with eachother without a "cut-off" as you put it.

Of course, the RC of a given regatta can decide to do what ever they want (kiddies course anyone ?) but the F16 class will never alter the premise on which it was founded. And that is "inclusiveness", not "divisiveness".

I'm not saying anything about "being upset" when the other classes feel that they need to protect their 10 boat start from the F16's. Some rather be a big fish in a small pond.
