Hi Scooby and Wouter

Any idea what the ISAF and Texel rating for the Nacra F17 (was I17R)and how does it compare to the F16's uni.\

Hopefully, the US portsmouth committe will have the data to get the boats in line with the international ratings... Always tuff with a small fleet or just individual boats spread out over a huge area.

How would texel rate the Nacra F17 boat with two size chutes for crew weights? Will it consider this an internal class adjustment much like the F18's.

In the US... the F17's have a critical mass in Michigan and a few at Sandy Hook, NJ... The rest of the racers are spread out in the country.

A great initative would be F16 one ups and the Nacra F17's to get together and go racing level up in one or two high profile events. I don't know if the Hobie FX1 will be able to hang with these two boats in a level band.

Any US F16'ers and F17's willing to take the lead on this one?
