The formal organization of the U.S. F16 Class Association has been completed. The inaugural membership has ratified an operating constitution. This is a major step in the recognition of the F16 class as a viable beach cat option in the United States. The organization will be a strong proponent of the international formula rule, with an express purpose of promoting F16 sailing in the United States. All the members of the class association are excited to be a part of a growing class of performance catamarans in the United States.
