Hi Catsailor,

Compared to a cat rigged Stealth F16, it is not so much cheaper. But if there is no dealer or second hand boat close to you, there is no real decision to take.

Hobie and Nacra exist also for long time, but I would neither buy a Fx1 nor an I-17. Newcomer on the market produce good or better boats.

Hence I come to a different conclusion:
Both boats are good. Buying a F16 I would help an inovative class to grow, buying a Jav 16 I would save some but not many bugs, have maybe a lighter boat...
But again: Boats must be available.
Anyway thanks for your comment, even if I do not agree.

Cheers,

Klaus
