Why do we want an F20 class in the US, are there not already plenty of places to race our 20 ft boats as is.

Is it just to be able to put any manufacturers sail on our boat and still race without a penalty? or add carbon rudders and a carbon Boom? or a carbon mast to a Hobie 20?

In order for an F20 class to exist in the us there must be an agreed set of rules, a governing body, and several boats racing under the rules, then there would be an official PN number and then anyone can do what they want to their boat even if there is no one else in their area that has a similar boat.

What is the motivation for and F20 class in the US? Because this site is only a start it must be moved to the next step or it will just be another good idea that never got any grip in reality. There must be a reason/need for the class. What is it?
