Pete,
...it does feel as if uni is getting further behind.
Dude, I feel your pain as I am a hell of lot further behind than you!
However, I think making the Uni appealing to top sailors is one way to make the class grow. Consider that in the Olympics the most prestigious events are for individuals not teams. The marathon, decathlon, and 100 meter come to mind. By keeping the Uni bar very high, it is my hope that world class athletes will drawn to the F16 class.
