I think the open rules are not the way to go. The original F20 class (box type rule) is dead. The Ventilo 20 was designed under this rule and the boat was so much faster than the rest of the boats it killed the class. The current iF20 rules seem to be fairly equal when you look at the results. If we put the onus on the iF20 rules it would take away the burden of any rules we came up with. Meaning, it would be an easier sell by using existing rules and just administering them here. Our focus should be to get started in the right direction and slowly build the class. Trying to convert all of the existing 20’ boats is looking backwards and not forward. How many boats other then Foxes and I20 are competing in the if20? None that I saw. Boats are being designed now to sail in the iF20. There are 3 boats in North American now. The Mystere 2000 is being made to sail under iF20. A Ventilo iF20 can be imported easily. If the class takes off we may see others get into the mix like Supercat.<br><br>
