guess I need to teach you to read all the thread..

" F18 measurers in the US leave the all-up weight box blank. All-up weight is checked at major events for compliance, but because variability in lines, blocks, tillers, ect., can be expected throughout the season, our measurers are not required to fill the box in - just check for compliance.

Maybe you could argue John Williams doesn't know much about the F18 or cat sailing.. This will be an interesting discussion... *reaching for the popcorn*...

then maybe the F16 actually knows what its doing...
