Thanks for the offer

Nick,

I like the F18 class and the weight rules and think they work great. My wife crews with me when my regular team mate can't so I can go to the regatta. She really does not like to sail that much but will if I ask her (does not like wind above 15knots and won't go). We my wife and I are really a little light for the F18 unless we go with the small sails. At the small club regattas the other sailors let us just add the weight to use the large sails and then more weight to meet the class rules. The sailors in our area just police themselves on boat and crew weight.

My thought about getting an F16 was I could sail by myself when I wanted to. My wife could sail with me if she wanted. The boat would be easer to move around. My only concern was sailing with my regular team mate If we would be too heavy. I was also thinking about an A cat and keeping the F18 also.
I really just did not want 2 boats.
