Why not start with a clean sheet and stay away from the F18 class. Surley that has to be more healthy for the sport.
Far better idea. The tiger is getting some air time as Hobiecat will provide the boats FOR THE GAMES.
Sailors will still need 2-3 boats scattered around the world for their campaigns. Cost reduction will be small.
I'd support a new boat / or one of the currents. I'd even suggest we go even wilder and support something like WIlliam's wide M20 (The Vampire).
Choosing any of the F18's will be bad for the class.
