In my view its time AHPC came off the fence and decided which class they are going to compete in, 104 or F16, it would certainly stop all this bickering that is going on.
Why should AHPC get off the fence????
When it comes to the crunch, they will only keep building boats IF they can sell them... (After all, they do need to pay their employees!!!)
Having a boat that can be marketed in multiple areas is a big plus.... just ask any marketing guru!!!
And let's look at Greg's history - He started his catamaran sailing on a mosquito catamaran - Wow... A 16ft cat that can be sailed as a Uni or Sloop. Then in 1988 designed the Taipan - Wow... another 16ft cat that can be sailed as a Uni or Sloop..... Then the F16 association came along.
Even though Greg has openly spoken against some of the F16 rules, it is currently the box rule that closest fits his thinking.... Hence, AHPC has "come to play"... but that does not mean that they have chosen NOT TO PLAY the other games!!
