But you should never miss an opportunity to have a shot at me..
Back to your post though:- So you are saying that the class should allow everything because one day it might become cheaper than the current standards? I think you would be better to leave the material experiment stuff to the guys with big budgets like the AC teams, big boat builders and industry specific researchers. Then take advantage of the developed technology. Unless the F16 is prepared to become a guinea pig class for boat fiddlers at the expense of quality fleets and racing?
If Carbon was in any way cheaper than glass or alloy then I would see no issue with it, however in the real world it is more expensive to build a boat, masts etc out of carbon. (unless you are going to tell me that you can build a boat in carbon for the same price as a glass boat?)
