I spoke to a friend of mine in Singapore and the one SL 16 that was in Singapore was packed up and sent back to France. So there are no SL 16’s in Asia anymore.

As for the SL 16 being a recognised class, the ISAF Conference rejected them as they didn’t have enough numbers.

I think I can answer the question on the “honorary membership” from Wouter. The first name Olivier Bovyn was the guy in ISAF pushing the SL 16. Some of the other names I recognise as either designer or builders. .
