I see where they think they are going to build a "Better" F-16, but who are you going to race it against? Why not just comply with the F16 rules, you have international fleets already up and running. If the A cats ever adopt a spinnaker, the X16 is done, since it sounds like that's what they are trying to do...
Flexibilty is the key to selling more boats, if they would just add the jib option, a second trap, and comply with th F16 rules, I'll bet they would sell a lot more boats. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
