I'm really sorry to hear that.
But may I ask how the :
good old 'boring' F18 - 5.5m, 2.6m, 9m, 17m2, 4.15m2, 21m2
is different from the :
Just formed and improving F16 : 5.0 mtr. 2.5 mtr. 8.5 mtr. 13,00 rated m2, 3,65 rated m2, 17,5 m2
As are the specs of the Stealth F16; Blade F16, Taipan 4.9 Spi and also the Ventilo Zipo design who make up the true F16 class.
And if anyone thinks that the F18 is void of controversy than I advice everyone to take a good look at the "F18 class versus Capricorn F18 with foiling boards" issue. That one is developing into a right soap opera with much more damage potential.
