I just can't believe the executive of the international F18 association is letting this sort of crap go on. Pretty disappointing really.
Surely Olivier et al could be putting a cap over all this and looking after the sailors. At least communicate the reasoning behind these decisions through a press release on their Facebook page and website.
Hi Gav,
For the reasoning just read the last TC report it is quite clear:
http://tinyurl.com/7u5gmhyIndeed there is a very simple way to prevent this kind of situation.
If a buider want to make F18 with a "brand new process" or service.
The builder/sail maker ask if the rules allow that before.
TC can answer, or if there is no consensus, WC can make a clarification.
It works ! And this kind of move shows respect to F18 community (builders and sailors)
That's why I propose to complete a certificate of compliance from builders, given with the bill, before F18 certification that transform a 18 feet cats in Formula 18.
What do you think of that cap ?
