An event is defined as a declared F16 class event with at least 5 F16 boats racing or as a open regatta with no less than 30 boats racing.


Wouter, I want to make sure I understand your "definition."

If a club has five F-16's and they have "declared F-16 events" attended by only those five boats, you just have to race with your fleet once a year to maintain your F-16 class eligibility?

OR if you go to one open class event that has at least 30 boats of all different kinds and you register as an F-16 as opposed to, say, a Taipan 4.9 with spinnaker, and even though there are no other F-16's at the event, that also will continue your membership eligibility for the F-16 class?

Is that the intent? If so, can you explain the purpose behind the intent?

What happened to what you said about treating all the F-16 owners equally as members of the class, whether they race or not?

(Sorry, Wouter, I just can't keep myself from asking questions. It's a curse.)
