Hey Mary, to all.
This a is an open forum.
I started reading F16 but I find it better to use this open forum to get everybody's ideas.
While weight of boats etc etc etc are valid threads, that is all they are, threads.
So, if the people who run this site are being clear that partisan is getting boring why not knock any argument on the head now by agreeing that when on a thread, stay on the thread.
So this is about masts...not boats...I will start ANOTHER thread now for following the argument.

Bob, I would ask that you reconsidder sharing your experience with all as I am very interested in what you have to say and dealing with only one person cheats others.

To all F16 sailors.
Listen to what Mary has said and let it go so we can get on with sailing related topics. IF you are an F16 sailor who does not get into it with others..thanks but you don't have to tell us now.

IF the people who need to throw it at each other just create specific threads for that we can all get our two pennith in.

Remember everybody, we are all just trying to sail fast.
