In fact,

The jib on the SL16 is non-Formula 16 compliant in overall area. It is 3.75 sq. mtr. large when the F16 are only allowed 3.70 sq. mtr. Otherwise the SL16 appear to be compliant however.

But of course that is not the issue at hand.

However, the error appears to be made by a newsoutlet (local newspaper) that also does youtube video reports. I guess they never knew that a Formula 16 existed while knowing about the Formula 18's and thus thought that the used title was a smart play on the situation. As in designs much like teh F18's in an appearence but sailed by youths and teenagers hence Formula 16.

Local newspapers are typically full of such oversights.

I guess that asking for a rectification is pretty useless. The news article has been outthere for a while and it is too late to change any perceptions this late in the proces. I feel that simply adding a few replies to the youtube posting will have to suffice.

That and officially registering the name Formula 16.
