For more info on the Sl16 class and boat go to
http://www.slica16.org/You will find the class rules here and other stuff.
Apparently Performance catamarans (Nacra) will be building the boat in the USA and they have a singapore based builder as well.
AND ! in its very short lifespan yet the class association has already no less then 16 Honorary class Members. Were I come from you actually had to do ALOT of succes class building for say 15 to 25 years to even be considered for honorary membership. How times chance.
