When others look at my results they can draw any conclusions they wish, so long as I sail to the best of my abilities I will be more than happy.If people think this is bad marketing for the F16 Class then I feel sorry for them and they would be wise to remember there's no such thing as bad publicity.
Ain't that the truth !
I'm just hoping a few F16 hot shots will get out. It is not a biggy if they don't, but I'll welcome it if they do.
I think it is clear the competition will be trying to get theirs out in the likes of Yves Loday, Bob Curry and now Peter Vink. Maybe some comparable name like Booth will do the FX-one for Hobie ? Basically they are all trying to have the boats look good by getting a good sailor to sail it and then claim that no performance loses are incurred by being significantly heavier or using sub-optimal parts of other designs which are unlike a true singlehander, like the F18 parts.
