It seems that with the ISAF rules being as they are, organising an event called "the F16 Europeans" would be more pain that it is worth. That said, I think there is a huge potential benefit for the class in having a single, european event that we can focus on getting attendance at. It seems that the UK is the obvious place to have it: it sounds like we've got 12 boats "locally", and we've got people who are willing and keen to organise it.

If there's another country that can offer the same, then I'm sure many of the UK sailors would look to make the journey. Otherwise, let's take advantage of what we've got, and do whatever we can to get as many of you mainlanders across to our fair isle, and get some attention for our class.
