Volume manufactures. If AHPC can work with Nacra and Hobie to produce and promote a 125kg equivalent to the F16, lets sat they MF16 (manufacturers F16), then you may well see the MF16 become the class that will reach International status, leaving the F16 class to remain a very small isolated class like the F18HT.
...which seems to work for the F18HT, at least in Europe.
I don't thinkt that they (Hobie, Nacra) will have an chance to create another F16 class unless they come to the same weight and cost level.
The threat is more, that they succeed in modifing the class rules to their need
