<br>
<br>-Hopefully we will take our time , gather all the information and have 20 sailors as part of the group from all geographic locations around the country .
<br>
<br>
<br>-Will try to list all critisms and potential problems in forming this class and proposed potential solutions in rules formation to them .
<br>-Have been trying to gather and list basic info for handy reference purposes--various 20 boat specs ,--links to ISAF and TEXEL rating systems ,-F-16 INFO --design info and basic formula and their effect on speed potential and ratings,-which we need more of - , and also to walk through sail area meas. process, as you have ,-and ISAF and Texel calc ,on all various boat types and rating effects of variations on weight -sail area ,etc.-
