Also, if I may, the deck on the hulls can be tidied up a little bit to improve the looks.
The only picture with a clear deck view is the orange ones and that´s the male model with decks cutouts.
Yes, I do see some market potential for the RC16; but ONLY if it is lightweight enough. That is critical !
Weight is around 140Kg need to confirm, but we have a really heavy mast section and beams.
Construction is made in Coremat to reduce costs.
Of course with such an F16 mast you can make use of the sail development that has been done so far. Several sailmakers are offering custom F16 sails, optimized for that setup. The right sails are halve the performance !
Thanks for the offer, I'll keep it in mind.
For Sails, again, this sail is a recreational one.
I also have a deal with Andrew Landenberger for F18 sails, just received our first set.
So Landy´s could be a nice option in Europe... I don´t know better performance sails <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
So as told after march we'll make a full racing version prototype, the F16 Class Assoc through some of its members can have the boat at cost so you can have a 1st hand "look"
Looking over the pictures I like the use of the spray rails along the hulls. From the Spitfire sailors I hear this works well to keep the crew more dry then usual.
Super dry ride! and we made the spray rails all the way.
Main features of the 16 along rails is volume, outofthebox concave-channel stern, looks and performace.
Sebastien Magnen was in San Isidro working on his boat for several months and he was really interested in the stern design, sadly he couldn´t sailed her. This cat is dedicated to him and his custom and amazing Cat designs.
