Hi Mark Barry and all -
<br>
<br> the F-18 N A web site has been up a few days with basic rules -
<br> http://www.angelfire.com/mi4/naf_18/
<br>
<br>---Tiger anyone --I-hope to borrow a boat -demo - or team up with a lightweight owner and give it a try , -sailed-raced a H-18 for a decade or so.
<br>--On the 20s -the niche or market of 20s within the larger scheme and broader perspective is open ,--should it be the same formula class ,just for larger people ,--this is a small percentage , -we have no true Formula boats in the U S execpt a few Foxes that not even H seems to be promoting .
<br>---It is a very difficult set of existing circumstances to attempt to work through and find a better broader solution .
<br> Sounds like Barry,s area Namsa -has found one design nirvana , --no one seems happy in open racing , think this has lead to the decline , --the only option is some type of very broad developemrntal rule ,-in existing modified , and developement , but there seems so much appathy due to the existing attitudes that it may take better overall racing structure in place and more spectacular -interesting events and cat designs to really get people interested and new generations involved . ---
<br> Seemes everyone young is interested in flying through the air ,--on skate boards ,-motorcycles ,-jetskis ,-bikes -etc -
<br> we need airborn catamarans -!!!!
<br> have fun - and check out the f-18 web site
