Hi Les -
Good point, but I think you'll be able to buy them before that date. The STX main was for sale and showing up at fleet races before they were class-legal. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
Rolf, those are very fair terms. Though I am not sure I can agree that Jake is balanced, I do think he would be a good arbiter. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Cool thing is, either way, I'm happy - my way, and the HCANA doesn't have an anurism, your way and F18 continues to be a forward-thinking, consumer-driven class with affordable and sound used boats available for the beginner.
