THE FORMULA 18 CONCEPT IN A FEW WORDS :

[...] A strict "box measurement" allows manufacturers to develop catamarans so that they are price competitive, but at the same time give them the freedom to continually develop higher levels of performance.
[...] To sum up, weights allow better and fairer racing between crews, with more ladies getting involved, both as crews and helms.
[...] The number of manufacturers keeps sailing costs to the minimum, and the ability to buy spares and sails from any manufacturer, as long as they measure, also keeps costs down.
