I think he was talking about F18 Designs being 'old'. The Hobie Wild Cat F18 is pretty new, right? And that French Cirrus? How old is that design? And the C2 isn't more than a couple years old, right?

I think you guys are going down the Nuclear Arms Race track though, if you want a class that is dominated by a "New Design" every year.

I thought the whole point of Formula boats was to get the boats pretty even, and let the Sailors win the races?

But if a new design every year is what you want, the A class is available right now.
