Paul It would be nice to see them posted. Were they ever finalized?

NOTE. I am talking about the iF20 rules that were developed to run alongside the F18 rules. F20 is something else that you guys have come up with to encompass existing classes i think.
No current production cat fits these rules as the mainsail size is only 18m2
here is a sumary;
6.12 m max loa 2.6m max beam platform min weight - 140kg boat min weight - 190kg 165kg min crew weight [Correctors weights and smaller rigs to compensate for lighter crews] mainsail - 18m2 jib - 4.85m2 spin - 25m2
the european Inter 20 fitted this rule but has gone to a larger mainsail now, the fox also fitted.
I will try and scan the rules sometime

Posts: 921 Alachua, FL | quite right, alter the rules then. The question, I think, is there actually active F20 racing in Europe? If so, there probably is no reason to adjust the formula to include the US spec I20. However, it makes sense for the US folks to set the formula box around the I20 and then let the lesser makes upgrade to that spec. This would be one way to avoid the problems with handicaps in certain races.

Folks were asking about the old rules some time ago and I couldn't find them till the other day.
I think they were looking for a starting point to resurect the formula.

Posts: 833 St. Louis, MO, | Could the N20's out there go on a diet and lose some weight economically? No, I don't think so. I would set the min weight at the low end of what I20's run. Perhaps 400lbs. This is a pretty reasonable weight for a boat of that size. I think the all up min weight right now on the N20 is 420lbs. Can't easily shed weight in hulls, mast, foils without costing people thousands of dollars. Here is the catch. It would not be that hard to create a one off Infusion that is 20 feet and would measure to the new iF20 rule. Perhaps would be unbeatable by an N20. Now have you helped the class? Honestly I'm not sure where to go from here with the 20 class. Not enough interest really. Mike Hill N20 #1005

Posts: 5,590 Naples, FL | I think the first step in 'resurrecting' any class or type of boat is to gather all the information on the owners (especially e-mail) so that you can communicate amongst each other and build regatta attendence numbers, fleet size, etc.
I know that the occasional "who's coming" e-mail for a regatta usually boosts attendence around here...
Mike - you going to Steeplechase this year? It sure beats shoveling snow...
There were 5 N20s at Area D's a week or so ago. I'd be willing to bet a few could be talked into Steeple / Tradewinds...
