Hi Rolf

I agree on the current I-20 basic design being too close in weight beam SA and performance and think I,m also ready for a lighter wider faster 20 class to emerge.

We have proposed in several versions the F-20 concept based on I-20 specs for 5 years, as Barry noted most already sail the I-20 and see no need for F-20, the negative aspect is the 20s are disappearing from the race scene .
Here in MICH --Great Lakes area --lake Michigan ,-we have a major regatta called the Catfight .

There are only 3 20s entered ,plus 4 Tornados , so there are already more T to race locally if a F-20 was developed to include them .

Lets propose an international lightweight F-20 class and leave the old tech behind . I would like to build my own design ,so would prefer a more open developmental type class rule structure. Things like angled boards -foils and sail plan variation allowed .

just my 2 cents
