#1 - no problem really.

#2 - from trailer to sailing will take 30 to 40 mins. Some may say less, and this is possible. But you will find that there are a few adjustments to be made, conversations to be had etc so this time frame is more reasonable to expect.

#3 - not a good idea. The high aspect boards, ie long narrow centreboards on some of the F16s, don't like this and would be likely to break if hit at speed.

#4 - kevlar hulls if you have a problem with shoals. Aluminium mast also as that is more durable and less likely to break compared to carbon (and a lot cheaper)

#5 - still happens as user error still exists. That is part and parcel of sailing high-performance trapeze boats (ie both monos and cats).

#6 - others on the forum should be able to fill you in, got no idea.

#7 - at times it can be like standing in front of a fire hose. Maybe bit extreme an example, but expect to get wet.

I am sure you will get more responses as well.
