Not an answer...just a bit more lament for the stew....

I've had this conversation repeatedly over the last few years, and everyone seems to agree that kickstarting the F-20 class is really the only reasonable answer. However....I don't believe that will happen any time soon as there really is no competition for the N20 (one-design) in the US. I would likewise LOVE to see the same level of manufacturer competition (hence development) as we are currently seeing in F18. Unfortunately attempts at getting F20 going in the US continue to flounder, and it is my understanding that it is now stalling a bit worldwide, with F18 stealing all the thunder. The sad thing about all this is that it kind of leaves all us 200 pounders out in the cold!!

Mabe if I cut off a leg I could be more competitive in F18??? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
