Ed,

I would love to hear a personal comparison from you between the A and the Blade F16. After a couple of times sailing that is and then again after 1 or 2 seasons getting to know the Blade well.

I ask this of other A-cat to F16 sailors as well. I find this very interesting. One guy could only produce "They are totally uncomparable, in every aspect", but couldn't elaborate.

I find it increasingly interesting to find out why two boat that are still quite close in specs can still be so far apart in one on one comparison. Not to say one is better then another but apparently the two are jsut so different in feel.

So when you have the time ...
