Hi Wouter,
<br>The f 18 class rules are to restrictive!
<br>This why i think a lot of people are keen to get involved in the F16HP.
<br>Beach cat need a class which let you play around a bit such as moth or 14ft.skiff,o.k the A class is fairly free and the C class is out of most peoples pocket.
<br>To have a class where you can be as well 2 up is good,so you can split the cost (or take your partner out!)
<br>I could see that you base a good parts of the rules on the 18th. but it is a good idea to looks at others ones as well to take good idea.
<br>Finally, yes the hydra is fairly fast but it is build with old technologie,strong but way to heavy.
<br>The general shapes are as well"old school".
<br>I am looking forward to the futur of the class.
