I read in your post above that you bought the Tiger to sail in F18 and ONE-DESIGN. Which Tiger did you get - the one with the seams and tramp track in the hulls or the with lighter hulls and no tramp track and a faired bottom? And was the tramp in the track on the hull or the tramp with groments in the back or the tramp over the hull? Which mast spreaders did you get - the round ones or the wing ones? Which snuffer did you get - round end pole or hard mid-pole or soft mid-pole? Did you get the new lighter carbon boards or the old heaver ones? Did you get the self-tacker and the new jib or did you get no self- tacker and the different shaped jib? Did you get the spin with the rings or groments or with luff line? Which boom did you get - the lighter round one or the heaver square one? Which front beam did you get- the lighter one with no track or the heavier one with the track? Do you really think that someone sailing on a new Tiger with all the new upgrades does not have an advantage over a 2002 Tiger without the upgrades? This is not one design. One design means the same.

I really don't see the Tiger as ONE-DESIGN just because all the parts come from Hobie. The boat was made for F18 and should race under F18 rules.
