That's an interesting comparison (and have been waiting a while for someone to go to the trouble of working out how much a Mozzie "really" costs), but now I think about it, the mast is a lot more expensive for an F16 than a Mozzie, but apart from that I can't see where there would really be much difference in cost.
Surely every fitting is the same, the foils will cost the same, the sails and tramp are very slightly bigger. The hulls are the same construction method - just a bit more of it. There's a bit of gear for the self tacking jib. These are all small increments. I know you need to add fitting out labour but I can't see $8000.
So $1k extra for the mast? $500 for the self tacker, $500 more for the sails, beams will be a fair bit more, another $500? Say $3k more for the components then a Mozzie leaving $5k unaccounted for.
$16500 for the Mozzy was generous too, thats paying full price for everything, many ways to save money on that price, I think I could do it for about $15k.
