proceeding based on I-20 specs with a lighter proposed boat weight of 380 -similar class to other existing Formulas.
<br>
<br>-We have lighter boats by 40 LBs -more sail area in the main by 14.5 sq ft than the Euro F-20 ,-it automatically requires large crew to hold this boat down in a breeze.
<br> F-18 leaves off at 330 LB s,-is this a target and logical place to pick up the 20 Class.
<br> 330 min , allow 30 dead weight to min. -
<br>-What are ideal chute sizes and weights to allow more area.
<br> check 18 specs , and Euro 20 rules.-
<br>
<br> Min boat weight =380 ,-{based on Barry,s 388 weighing his I-20}
<br>Any can add lighter blocks lines hardware and gear to GET the I-20 to this .
<br>
<br>-Max mainsail =208 sq ft -existing I-20 is 208-_
<br>- 14.5 more than existing iF.
<br> note ,other mfg. may eliminate the lower window area and increase upper main slightly ,--are these types of mods allowed or should there be an exact overlay pattern as the 18s propose .
<br>
<br>-jib 53 spin 270 sq ft -same as I-20 --{no graduated jib sizes as per iF --ONE JIB max. --like the 18s ,-or should we allow mods ,--to smaller self tacking type if desired.
<br>
<br>--Larger spin allowance increase for larger crews ---crews over 360 recieve anadded ??sq ft ,--crews over 390 LB recieve an added ?? sq ft.
<br>
<br>Longer spin pole alum or c f and c f snuffer allowed , measured from f crossbeam .-{opt for larger chutes --heavier crews }
<br>
<br> let us know -
<br> thanks -<br><br>
