****. At all of the F18 championships and many of the regional events, boats are weighed and sails are checked. Guess how many boats failed a measurement check in the last six years. US F18 racing has been growing steadily and competition is fantastic, and for six years we've managed certification differently than the EU. So if the F16 Class has decided that they are going to manage things in a different manner than the EU F18s have done, it is petty and inaccurate to chime in that it can't work for them.
