That 150 pound class minimum weight is a scaled down all carbon A class boat that costs $15,000.00 US Dollars. What these posts are talking about is a $1500 dollar boat finished and ready to go racing.
Bill, have you looked at how light a high quality builder can make a strong light boat without being all carbon.. AHCP can and does build foam and glass "A"s under the weight limit.. Now I may agree with you no US manufacturer can build to there standards.. But I can assure you a aussie home builder can and do build light ply boats..
