I will not reply to W.F. post directly yet and only after the US sailors have reacted.



I do however confirm that :



- W.F. has indeed e-mailed me and proposed to work together, I've fowarded this message to the class heads of each region : UK, Aus, US, NL (myself ofcourse). I'm waiting for the last class head to reply.



- W.F. did propose to combine our cirquits; I've forwarded this to Kirt (US class) and leave it to him as he is the local class head for the US and is/has made up the US list of races.



- I don't recall W.F. offering us space in his trailor. I will look this up in my e-mail history and get back to you on this.



- I'm sure that W.F. did not offer us the use of the digital scale, but again I will check and get back to you on this.



- Indeed no big response was send to W.F. on his proposals, reason I'm waiting for the last local class head to reply. And indeed my personal feelings with respect to the mails and concerns. I can't speak for Stealth marine in this respect, I leave that to John himself.





I would like to underline that each local class is independent of the main body (and me ! ) as longs as the class rules are uphold. You as the US group have the right to decide on cooperation with F18HT as the local US class. Ofcourse for the F16HP class as a whole more is needed, that is only logical.



Furthermore I will not interfere in any way with the local class way of doing things provided that it doesn't go against the class rules.



So if you want to take W.F. up on his offers, do so.
