Ding: I'm not trying to be confrontational. A-CLASS On a local level we're just finally glad to have built a class that has 5 boats showing up on the starting line again. _____ Nacra 5.5 SL/spi to the best of my knowledge met the specs for an F-18 but would not be grandfathered into the class since it was not originally manufactured as an F-18. ________ Also if your F18 crew weight and sails don't match, ya can't race ,only that rule doesn't alway apply to everyone. . . and I'm not explaining that one, If ya don't know about it you might not have been paying attention. I really hate that this is on topic but is several issues of this thread all at once.
