""Perhaps the F16 class should look beyond their class as just a class, but more of a business."

My comments still stand as written; those on the outside are attempting to fix a problem that doesn't exist. The class was carefully set up to meet the desires of the sailors who created it, and those looking for a similar solution. It is doing all that it was created to do...which again is “to satisfy the desires of the sailors who created it”...

Those who want to "fix it" have a different set of goals...Manufactures who choose not to abide by the weight minimum rules...pro sailors who look at it as another class to utilize to subsidize their professional sailing career. You don’t have to be Sherlock Homes to discern their motivation.

So when the veil is lifted...The F16 owners/sailors, and current manufactures (such as the Blade, Falcon, Stealth, who are doing everything in their power to build the boat to maximize the box rules) are very happy with the rules as written. Those who want to modify the rules are more concerned with manipulating the class into what works to their advantage. Trying to reason with the "we have to save you from yourself" mindset is exhausting.
