Ahhh, come on ! You can't be serious about this.
You specifically wrote and I QUOTE :
... Most surprised were the F18 World Champions from Holland. ...
And now you are claiming that the rest of the world should just immediately recognize that this specifically refers to this one-time-20-boats Nacra F18 One-design World Championship and not to the REAL F18 class world championship ?
Is the nacra class now refering officially to these sailors as the "F18 world champions" ?
I guess that is one way of producing "winning" results.
... I would have said the "Formula 18 World Champions", ... that is what you are talking about. I am talking about "F18 World Champions".
Now you just sound like that guy I met in the alleyway last night; the one who tried to sell me a genuine "Rolecs" watch.
I noticed that the Nacra F18 class has not renewed their ISAF status this year. I guess these sailors will now remain THE ultimate F18 world championships till the end of time; by virtue of having won all F18 championships that were ever held. (Afterall the infusion is not an F18 right ?)
