"with their recommendation: 3 words you do not read.
So how I am supposed to read this? The WC discussed and agreed it was a good idea to maximize dagger board length? That's it? Just some discussion and some nodding - but nothing more? No actual decision to change the class rules?
I have often struggled to understand the minutes of the WC meetings. But on this one it strikes me as particularly odd if I am supposed to believe that the WC did not actually decide to change the rule as per 31/12/2011.
It seems time is overdue for investing some money in the F18 class infrastructure.

Hi Ad, its very poor to have this level of confusion but it has happened before. Remember the dyneema trapeze lines we all had last season? well everyone went out and made/bought them based on the minutes from the WC meeting, but the rules were not updated to reflect this and as such everyone at the Worlds in Hungary with dyneema trap lines were illegal. If you check the 2012 rules you can see that the dyneema trap lines are now noted as legal. (although the Tech com minutes from Balaton ask that wire be brought back in and dyneema made illegal again!!!)
The rules as published by ISAF are the only thing that matters, so for 2012 you can have long boards, hell they can even be curved boards as long as they are symmetrical in cross section... but lets not go there, it would be like opening a big can of worms
I am sure Franck will copy and paste some more crap here, but he will be wrong.
