I thought the reason the I20 "class" declined was because it was never an "owner driven class" in that Nacra kept changing the new boats, regardless of what the owners/class members wanted or approved.

When the F18 class came along, it allowed more flexability for the owners to rig their boats as they wished, use the equipment they chose, vs. what the factory put on the boats.

If there were an "F" 20 class, instead of a factory driven, factory controlled, SMOD I20 class, I think it would do much better, but since the F18 class is already getting traction, mostly from I20 crews downsizing, you are chasing the same sailors, who are allready on their new F18's!

I don't know if you will get them back on a F20 type platform.

On the woman issue? Sure, more is better, but to say a chick can't crew a 20 is BS. She might prefer the 18, but Patsy proved that even a skinny little girl can do it.

Ding, Since you are about the only one active here who's "gone both ways" with a female crew, what does Kathy have to say about the two boats? Does she like the F18 better than the I20?

Did you ever feel disadvantaged on the 20 due to having a woman crew?
