Hi Folks

How many days are the Tornado events in the EU and Australia? In the US... the Tornado's (Olympic guys) won't do anything short of three days and usually 2 events running back to back with a one day break in the middle.

I plan my season around breaking the boat down and rebuiliding it for weekend races. The 10 hours of breakdown, build, Race breakdown build, for 8 hours of racing on your average weekend usally isn't worth it. (Especially when this estimate does not include travel time)

Seems to me that for an F20 class to succeed... you will need a schedule that people ... just have to do! (presige, competition, venue, prize money, fun factor etc) For Example Texel is one of those kind of events. Otherwise, the market will have to focus on the trailerable weekend racer. Which gets you back to the question... How much better then an I20 do you have to build to get people buying boats and racing them.
