ISAF A Class
The class president says in a letter... no sense in showing up at a major event unless you have a flying boat as used in the worlds....eg class legal under the rule 8... It is so bad... that the 30 minute to finish rule was quietly adjusted.


And a new class... "The Steves are calling it the A-Class Speed, and the boats will measure as A-Class cats in all respects with the sole exception of Rule 8. " from SA

The top competitors from the old A class have already jumped to the new class. So, What happens to a class when their top sailors move on en mass? (See Tornado Class and any number of dead boat society classes)

All that remains is to sort out the ISAF A Class politics and stuart walker type issues on competition so that you can hang onto the most sailors. I think it's unknowable what happens to the US fleet in the next year. In two years.... we be flying baby!
