Guys,

Good discussion here but I want to point out something to lurkers and other folks reading about F16s and wondering about the class:

The F16 class offer a tremendous range of flexibility in terms of being competitive at different crew weights. Probably as much flexibility as the F18 and A-class and way more flexibility than virtually any of the one design classes. Let's not lose sight of this as we count grams!!! I sailed head to head, bow to bow with a fellow F16 who weighs 40 lbs less than I.
