I guess he's stepping down because their seemingly is a movement afoot to increase minimum weight.
I can't see that it matters to anyone but the uni sailors and we are a vanishing breed. Hopefully any change would include grandfathering for existing boats.
Let me see if I understand this correctly:
* F16 Class has a rule for minimum boat weight
* All manufacturers are aware of this rule
* Some manufactures can't, or won't, build their boats to this rule
* Therefore, "these" manufacturers (stated in this thread as *all*) want to increase the minimum boat weight so as not to be *disadvantaged*
And we think that's fair?
