As neither Hobie nor Nacra is supplying the boats this year can we then have 1 of their slots so the current supplier can appoint a crew. As to get some benefit for supplying the boats as well ?
You can't claim it if you don't give it out.

Well if the F16's held a Nationals with significant competition then I'm sure that they would also get a slot, I'm sure. The Alter Cup Committee will cross that bridge when it comes.
Let's also consider that some Nationals are a lot easier to win than others. While none are easy we could rank them in order of toughness. This ranking will change every year. Right now I think it would go something like the following. My apologies if I leave a class out I haven't spent the time to analyze all of the players.
1. Tornado
2. F18
3. H16
4. N20
5. N17
6. A Class
7. H20
8. H17
9. H14
10. Isotope
11. Shark
12. Nacra F18
13. N6.0
This is just my opinion. I'm sure I just pissed off a bunch of sailors.
And Wouter since the Alter Cup is run by US Sailors for US Sailors I'm not sure why your opinion even matters.
