The last time i checked alloy was a lot cheaper than carbon. wherever you buy it from.

"Boats are predominantly manufactured either by home builders or small local manufactures with the exception of AHPC."
Funny on how opinions differ, I would think this is one of F16`s STRENGTHS.

I have to say that you do a larger dis-service to your own class than any other person posting on catsailor.

The last few posts in threads you have started and/or contributed to are at best trolls and do your cause no good what so ever.

Wrong. Rolf is building 3 F16's all will have carbon beams as it is cheaper from him to make beams than buy in the section.

Macca?

If Rolf seriously cant get alloy beams delivered to his place for less than the cost of the carbon and resin then I think he needs to review his delivery options. I send stuff to Norway and Sweden all the time and its not expensive.

Do I look like a Dealer for AHPC? and what is the relevance anyhow? We were comparing an A class to F16 build costs and weights..

But you can buy one hell of alot of carbon for 15K. how many boats do you want to build

Bull!

Speaking of Rolf, where's he been lately? I haven't heard from him and I've still got a couple videos of his I need to return. I hope he's just keeping very busy building the boats!
