Cheech,
<br>In this way you are wrong in a way.
<br>Germany either races F18 with Tigers or Tiger One design classes. Indeed the Tigers are as big as the whole German F18 class, but with respect for the US this is to early and as in GER may cause some troubles.
<br>The F 18 was a great idea to collect the various classes that were sailing with another 5 or so boats in a race, and in the US I observe the same development as it was in Europe.
<br>
<br>I can only support your US ideas to establish a F 18 class WITH EU RULES!
<br>Otherwise you again will have different boats in too small classes which make the boats too expesive
<br>
<br>Regards
<br>
<br>Fritz<br><br>
