Of course we had this vote about the beams of F16 cats.
here are the results :
Page containing the full results Summarized it comes out like this :
Total 24 votes counted :
In favour of banning permanently fixed beams = (7+10)/24 votes = 17/24 votes = 70.8 % (6/24 = 25 % against, 1 blank vote)
In favour of forcing the use of aluminium beams = 7/24 votes = 29 % (16/24 = 67 % against, 1 blank vote)
Therefor the Formula 16 class accepts the addition of rule 1.2.4 (banning perm. fixed beams) and rejects the forced use of aluminium beams.
The Formula 16 class rules have been modified and the rule changes are effective since 1 september 2004. Any craft currently in conflict with the new 1.2.4 rule and that was completed before 1 sept 2004 may request dispensation. Contact the F16 class at
Formula16class@hotmail.com for this.
