Basically there are 3 Bim 16's in existance.

-1- the original Bim 16 (although its design was modified several times)
-2- the javelin 16 (prototyped but not much seen after)
-3- the newly announced Bim F16 (no photo's of the prototype have been seen yet)

For the type -1- you can contact Martien Kooijman as he has sailed one for I think 2 years, he sold it last year and got a Blade F16. I think I can put you in contact with him if you really want, however this type is not produced anymore (stopped in 2002 I believe) and they are extremely rare in northern Europe. For example I think there has only been 1 in the whole of the Netherlands ever.

For the type -2- I know of no-one you can speak to except the Bimare yard itself. I do keep track of these things but I have never learned of anyone buying this version in Northern Europe or the rest of the world. There may be a few sold in Italy, Spain and Switzerland but I'm not aware of it.

For type -3-, I guess you have to wait for it as it has not been launched yet, as of yet it is still an announcement without any proof of existance. Although, I do hear rumours from different sources that the project has come far already.

This is the best I can do for you.
