Wayne, Its not that i have changed my mind, I have always made it clear that the class is leaving itself open to issues arising from the weight issue. Now, exactly what I told you all will happen is now for sure going to happen. The majority of the class will be made up of owners (that can vote) that have boats in the 128kg weight range. Then if someone builds something those owners dont like.... its an easy voting process to secure their investment in a heavy product.

How long do you think that will take??

Nacra missed the chance to deliver a boat that made the viper redundant at the top level, and that I believe is an opportunity missed from a commercial point of view. Every manufacturer wants more market share and the competitive advantage of entering into a class with room to improve on the current offerings is a rare situation and not one that should be missed.
