... 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
Last time I checked a 125 kg F16 is still an F16 !
With a Global challenge in NL in 2007, UK in 2008 and USA in 2009 and nationals in all these area's plus Australia and others I think the class is a little less "isolated" then you make it out to be.
I haven't seen the big builders match something like that with any of their SMOD products lately (except the H16's or their F18 versions)
Therefore I think this is a pretty empty threat and treat it accordingly.
