I agree Timbo. The centre board thing is just an example, but its something to think about, and sails don't cost that much. I'm in a situation now were sails I built 4 and 2 years ago and were fine then, are now not class legal. I don't remember voting on that. Did any of you guys?

I came from the Hobie 16 so I can appreciate the value of one design. However the f16 box rules have been tightened significantly while both you and I have been in the class and we have had no say about it. It's not right IMO.

Not sure about class president, the french seem to be acting on their own from what I can work out.
