As you are VP for the Americas in the F18 council I´ll give you my opinon from down south.
If we can´t get one spot, I doubt isaf is going to give us two events. To me it should remain open, we don´t need a better example that Carolijn being a top racer in Tornado and F18 , besides being T class president too.
The Tiger was the boat for 2012 if F18 was selected, for 2016, we need an updated boat, you name it: Infusion, Wildcat, Capricorn II...
As the crew feeds will come from the F18 multibrand class there´s no problem with getting specific model fleets, those campaigning will use the boat selected and will race one o one against other F18s.
Based on that, we need an updated design which show the evolution of multihull racing. Tiger was the one for 2012, now we have more time and we should elect a new boat to reflect what we are and will be sailing in the future.
