Maybe sooner than you think, there is an item on the agenda for the upcoming F18-WC meeting:
"18. To discuss Formula 18 handicap regarding curved Dagger board (Dutch class request):
Presentation to be forwarded by Dutch rep."

There is some more interesting stuff in the upcoming agenda though, interesting read.



This is the same class that disallowed having straight daggerboards canted in the hulls...I think it would be a pretty significant detriment to open up the rules to allow the boats to be equipped with daggerboards that cost $3,600. Price has already gotten out of control with boats well north of $20k.
