>>>Notice all of his favorible comments on the F18 class,

I think you mean the F18HT class or 18HT class as it is now called.

Both as a class and personnally we have good relations with those involved with the F18 class all over the world. Thankfully so because in time we may start cooperating more closely with them. Ideas have been coined that call for the formula classes to come together and work together closely in the area's of measurements and regatta's. I see much propect in a setup like this.
