The INTERNATIONAL FORMULA 14 CATAMARAN ASSOCIATION is not only affiliated with yachting Australia and Yachting South Australia it is also listed with Yachting Australia as a legitimate, recognised class of catamaran and a recognised class association BY THAT NAME, a copy of the constitution, class rules, and class regulations are held by them and APPROVED by them, The association is registered with the dept' of consumer affairs and is approved by them as a legitimate association UNDER THE LAW for the administration of "the class", and under the law the association is also fully INCORPORATED. No class can be more legitimised than that, and if the ISAF or any other body that has arbitrarily decided that they have more control and/or power over a legitimate legally incorporated body than the legal and political system of any sovereign state, and through their (ISAF) ASSUMED control/power make threats, regardless of what kind of threats and to whom so ever, then I am afraid that if it was directed towards us I could see no other option than to “call their bluff” and pursue an outcome in the appropriate court system. It would seem that the position of the ISAF in regards to this matter is tantamount to a form of “terrorism” by threat, threats that I have yet to see any action taken by the ISAF (other than threats). It makes me feel that it is possible that the ISAF make these threats in the belief (and hope) that no person or body will actually ever “call their bluff”. (An illegal law is IS legal only while people accept it as such, BUT when found to be illegal by challenge it then disappears)
I personally think that if the situation did arise where some one sailed in an “unofficial” worlds (by the ISAF’s reasoning) and they later gained acceptance to sail in the Olympics (for example) the ISAF would quietly turn a blind eye to their previous “indiscretion”
Can you imagine the uproar if some time down the road, the top Tornado sailor from the USA was “banned” by the ISAF because that sailor had sailed in the “Wave worlds” years before, when he was 15 years old?? I don’t think it would ever happen.

PS the 18' skiffs have held events in the past that were called either "world titles" or "world championships" The "payne Mortlock canoes" call each race that they have "world titles" then again there aren't many of them and they only sail at one club in the world?
