I fully understand, but the F17 is not a formula class, but a OD class.
What I'm getting at is if you are going to race I-17 with FX-one than you might as well allow the F16's into the F17 fold. The difference between Nacra I1-7 and the F16 is less than the difference in speed between the N17 and FX-one.
But again it is not a serious issue, it is not like many F16's will show up in NY. IF ever just 1 ot 2.
And I don't mean anything by it, I just want to keep my pictures of th US sailing scene updated
Thanks
