The fact is that the best sailors are at the Vipers at the moment. When you put Ashby on a 10 kg heavier A-cat ( what type ever)he will probably win because he is the best sailor out there in A-cat. When you are going to put JC on a F16 of 110 kg or less he will probably win because the boat will react quicker and better and he is a very good sailor.
At the moment the Viper is having the best sailors on and then you have the biggest change of winning.
In F18 the minimum is 180 kg and when you have a boat of 200kg with a top sailor who is winning the events will the class than raise the minimum to 200kg. Likely not.

Why is the weight issue of F16 everytime coming back, the class rule is clear on what can be done.

I really do not see the point why F16 is used everytime to discuss his minimum class weight.
It is very frustrating to see this weight crap happening everytime, go sailing and develop the class


I assume Macca is just stirring AGAIN because he feels that he needs for some reason.

Sad he cannot just let us get on; I for one like my light boat as I sail single handed.

Tell you what Mac; get the A class to add 20 kg's to their min weight. That's not going to happen.

How about you get Glenn to sail with an A class 20kg over at the next worlds he attends and see if that makes a difference; I bet you cannot "because it will make the boat slower".

The F16 class is not going to vote for a weight change; give up Macca; it's a non starter and you know it; you keep bring this up for some reason, I assume you just want to cause problems. Very ad macca that you have nothing better do.

Move on mate.
