Dave, the feedback I got today from my proposal to put forward the Inter17 from the people who are in touch with the ISAF...It is up to the individual manafacturers to put forward their boat EG Hobie Mastrom Nacra AHPC etc. have to go sit with the ISAF and put forward their preferred boat, the specific numbers in existence dosent matter, the manafacturer can build them, as any one competing in the future olympics will want a new boat ny how, so it will go to a larger boat builder that is capable of constructing enough fast enough, this would be Hobie Nacra and Mastron, i dont believe any one else has this ability or funds to do so, therefore it is becoming clearer what will be put forward >>>perhaps the new nacra F16 lol it will be up to these 3 manufacturers unless you guys can think of another, sorry bout the spelling im tired...
