And so the Aussie dogs are back snapping at the heels of the class. Isn't it time we simply did a Sailing Anarchy thing ( Frank Lord ) and ban them from this Forum, then perhaps we can get on with having decent discussions about our boats. It was quite noticiable how quickly the SA forum improved in quality of discussion about foils when Frank had been given the boot.

To be fair on them we have heard them, discussed with them, asked politely, even tried to ask them to genuinely become part of the class by trying the boats on a regular basis, but no they still come back with the same old arguments despite the almost universal opposition of the majority of the active class members.

Macca if you don't want to be remembered as the Frank Lord of the F16 Forums then my recommendation is that go with your beliefs and set up the class that you think is the most practical and commercial 16 footer and get on with establishing that class. Establish the class, set up the Forums here on Catsailor, its all avaialble and doable if you really want to.
