One thing should be pointed out regarding the Shockwave vs SI 'affaire'

The sails with the ilegal polyester patches(no carbon at all but not on the list) were only the sails of the Pro Teams, the others sails didn´t use these special patches.

The analogy should have been that the Pro teams of loday-white (Wilson-Lynch and the French top crew) getting Corecell and the rest PVC standard cores.

Sadly SI knew what they were doing as they separate their production -
They also report some ilegal patches on other sailmakers that is being analyzed.

The reported (onsite at Hungary) ilegal sails from Balaton were sold to club sailors afterwards too.

So is not that easy accusation on the class being influenced by other lofts lobbies.

If a cloth not on the list, it is an ilegal sail, end of discussion. (Applied to any loft of course)
