Hi Farmer,

Mosquito with Spin is a class in its own right that is a "Grandfathered" boat in F16. As such it is welcome to participate in F16 events even though it is not built to the box rule. I refer you to my previous post regarding history as to why this is so.

Skippers may choose to enter F16 events or not, as is their want, but when doing so they would sail as an F16 against all comers that meet the rules though given some of the fantastic F16 designs that now grace our waters I think it would be a tall order.

The reason for a different YV handicap for Mosquito with Spin and a modern F16 design would IMHO be rather obvious to anyone who had rigged his Mozzie next to a Viper or Blade

I love my Mozzie... but I love "fair" racing just a little bit more.

Cheers
