Helen,

Am I missing something here....

The F16 has a maximum hoist height of 7.5 meters..

It would thus appear the tip presure is thus limited...



Wouter your forgetting the Bim 16 is a grandfathered boat and any new ones will be allowed a 9 meter rig..



finally as I see your agruments and I am usually wrong.. You arguing its too difficult to educate new owners as to the formulae rules? If this is the real case then perhaps we should restrict the rules further.. perhaps to a one design rig..
