Hi Barry
thanks

side question also --what is the Adventure 1000 -
on the Octagon sailing site -is that an attempt to restart the Worrell as Adventure 1000 under this new sailing marketing group?

also-heard something about the iF 20 along those lines ,and Inter making all boats per US version -just rumor

What are the implications -
Seems like the existing iF 20 s in EU will not be happy having to change or increase their mainsails.
Can,t be happy about that -
unless all boat mfg Co,s change to match the added 15 sq ft of main -and the 390 min. weight --from the current 420 lb ---older heavier boats would use a larger spin I suppose to compensate.
Is p attempting to corner the 20 market ,or as market strategy making all boats per current US version.

,-are we resigned by boat mfg. cos. to forever have seperate -exclusive mfg classes .Hobie --Inter -Prindle --Nacra -Mystere -Arc -Fox -Storm -etc etc

P rating is not intented and does not function for distance racing,-thats the alternative .

A number of interested catsailors should race as a F-20 in the Atlantic 1000 --I,m currently thinking along those lines but would like to have 5 or more race as F-20s also .
Interested to hear from any 20 sailors on the race and modifications of various 20s .

The modifications I,d like --not allowed in I {class} is a reefable main -- mid pole snuffer ,-- maybe stay adjusters -
more custom tramp , some small safety features ,-inc air bag in hull.
