Hi Tony,

Glad you've placed an interest to my concerns.

I am fully supportive of Wouter's point to accept whoever wants to race amongs the F16s, of course all with in the "spirit of the Formula class". Matter of fact, that was what I wanted to hear when I posted that question to him.

Going even further along the lines of your 2nd question. My 2 cents is, it is difinitely a case to case basis when it comes to managing a class, any class for that matter. As long as the class is being well represented and its ideals are being promoted, I see no problem in sailing against other boats.

Which brings me to more questions to our Chairman, Mr Wouter;
1. Can one be a F16 country head and a F16 dealer at the same time?

2. After we've established that we will accept H16 in the races, can they be active members of the association in terms of governing the class? The F16 class that is. I think this will definitely concern my country since we have a predominant H16 fleet.

3. Would they be required to always carry spinnakers?



All the best
Edmund
