Hi Holger,
I understand what you mean.
On the other hand, I think the F16 has a bigger chance where the F18 group is smaller. I mean it doesn't matter then if you buy a 16 or 18. And for open regatta's you're better of with a F16 if you buy a 16 foot boat because you can always sail up front.
Anyway, a good representation of sellers is always important, even if there is only one. So I hope APHC will sell some Vipers over there.
