While on the subject, is there any evidence to back the conspiracy theory that AHPC is not supporting an F16 culture or is in any way attempting to sabotage your formula?
No, contacts are good and AHPC has always been fully supportive of the F16 class and F16 activities.
Such rumours have always been spread by a few well known individuals looking to find a fault line that may split the class when hammered hard.
Personally, I don't care one bit at what rating the Viper sails as long as it sails on elapsed time basis in official F16 events (and in possession of a compliant measurement certicate).
Additionally, the F16 class is fully supportive of AHPC and understands that they market the boat for multiple uses (among which both F16 and F104 for the French sailors)
