Sorry but the Irish got it wrong. The submission to ISAF was only ADD the SL 16 to youth equipment. The submission was 86 to the ISAF Council, ISAF Regualtion 17.1 only ISAF Classes can be selected. The SL is not an ISAF class. The facts are their are no SL16's in the world outside France so nobody can train on it.
Lets no argue if the this or that is the best boat. The facts are there will be 2 classes in the future. Just how long depends on the SL and if the can sell their boats. Until and in he future the Hobie 16 will be the boat used.
There was also a submission to have the SL16 accepted as an ISAF Class. Do we know what the result of that vote was ?
I can't find anything on the ISAF site yet. How does everyone else know so much
