A great idea John but I think a non starter, essentially the Brits are getting on doing our own thing and I think will succeed over the next few years in establishing the class, the europeans are too fragmented at this time to really worry about a " European championship" especially as the time involved in setting it up will probably be 4 or even 10 times to set up as a low key Brit event for the gain of maybe 4 or 6 Euro boats

Lets not worry about it in 2006 or 2007 until there are more F16's in Euroland. Maybe we could hold an overseas British National Championship, maybe at Lake Guarda or such like, now I reckon a fair few of the British boats would travel to such a venue just for the experiance let alone the championships. If any of the British boats want to travel as I know a few do then lets join into a few events and if there is enough of us then we could even get our start, if not then just team up with the F18's as we have the same handicap.
