I've been called many names over the past years for given you all the glimps of the future. So there is nothing you can do anymore that will make me think twice about repeating this message>


The F18 branch will survive and thrive.

All the F18 related One-design spin-off and directly competing classen will decrease, die and vanish all together. F18 One-design races exist in the imagination only as the big manufacturers WILL follow the developments in the F18 class and hence the OD class is not truly a OD class, not even by a long shot.

Regard the F18 class as the Borg from startrek.

"Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated"

Not there is anything wrong with that. We wanted big fleets of comparable boats right ?
