Ahh, my post was a bit on the heavy side !

There is nothing I like better than a good scathing post.

Although Bob may have become the victom of it a little bit.

Anyway my post wasn't directed at Bob but at the development class sailors in general.

Behind the sarcasme and scathing language is a mild message.

There isn't much value in the name development class when there isn't much true new development going on.

Now, I admit fully the others aren't development class in action or name so I'm not claiming any class is better than you guys. Just that there isn't much distance between you and the rest of us after 2 years of development.

Lately I was thinking about the canting rig that the Stealth F18HT uses. I would like to see that compared to a say a Jav without the canting rig principle. That would provide some on the water data that others can use. If not be a joy to read about. It is to bad that F18 disallowed inward canting boards, would also like to see how that holds up in a development class like the HT's.

Have some date on a modified F20 with such foils but its data is sporadic.

Maybe you guys want to jump in and exploit this window of opportunity ?
