It's funny that you insist on refering to the F16 as if it was an establised class.
Oh really? Then what are we? a product of our imagination?
http://formula16.org/http://www.catsailor.com/forums/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=Fleet45The truth is it has no buisness being on a list with those other classes untill it has some REAL numbers out there.
What do you define as a real number? As far as I know even a 0 zero is a real number. A ten without the zero is a ONE!. Just because we do not have 15+ f16 on the starting line does not make us a "REAL numbers" class. As far as I have seen the only class that gets big numbers an starting lines are the H16 and F18.
Everyone tends to agree on all the other classes but then adds an exception for their own class if it's an "other" (F16 in your case).
So far you have been the only one to say, we are not a real class. I did not read a majority or post saying otherwise. Seems to ME you are the only one here stating this. So there is no majority and your statement has no basis.
There in lies the problem with lists. Everyone wants to make an exception for their favorite "other" class.
Yeah and? everyone wants to beleive their boat is the best boat. There is nothing wrong with that. As long as we are having fun, its all good. But saying the F16 is NOT a class with "Real" numbers is old. The joke was funny back 2002
