For sure F16 needs some good results to get it happening.

at the RTG race on the weekend Pete on the F17 Nacra was first single hander and 23rd overall and he had a swim too...

The best F16 was in 111th place..

Pete was testing the new version of the F17 which has the Infusion mast section and same size sails as the older F17. the boat performed really well and is proably a good indicator that light weight is not so important to performance...
