Why would you guys not love your boats..they are 20K plus. They are brand new etc. They are bloody groovy. It is a given though that the weight will become a factor. The manufactures WILL push for a rule change when THEY want it and can see a big turnover of boats.
For beach sailors that will be a boon as the F18 will make a great beach boat, tough and no nonsense. That is the way of things, evolution.
I don't think people are knocking the boats, just the manufacturers who are not delivering a lighter product when that would be competitive for longer.
