Darryl, What is it about Berny's 430 that negates it being considered as an F14? Apart from the obvious...that it didn
't have a spinnaker. Surely if someone wanted to enter their Catamaran as an F14 it would be up to them if they chose to sail it without the spinnaker? I am under the impression Berny's 430 is like yours, a homebuilt/own design and would therefore be whatever he chooses to call it and as it is 4.3 metres long and as far as I know complies with the other restrictions in the box rule. I would have thought an email seeking his approval to use the photo(s) would have been a much less confrontational way of dealing with this issue, than removing his boat from the F14 website, especially since he seems to be one of the sailors at the forefront of getting this class off the ground in Australia. I am not intentionally taking anyones side and of course I may and probably have missed some important point but would welcome some clarification. Nick

Is that one of your AO prototypes on ebay at the moment?
