Mary maybe you were not clear on what you wanted or suggested. Let me ask you this so we do not waste any more valuable resources or effort.

No one will not permit a SL16 to race against a F16 straight up. We all know it measures under the F16 rules. But do you want the SL16 to be acepted as a F16? or do you want the F16 class just let them race with us straight up?

Like I have said in various posts. No F16er will prohibit any SL16er sail against them. But I do not think the SL16 should be considered or added to the F16 lineup.

In other words Me, personally do not think the SL16 should be considered a F16 when it is not. Now race straight up with the F16 I do not see a problem there.
