I think everything that needed to be said, and then some, about the 104, big builders and the F16 class have been said several times already the last month. It is the same persons returning with the same arguments yet again.

The original question was:
Quote
Would the F16 Class gain more respect and sailors if say either Nacra or Hobie developed a F16. I think most of us would agree that their marketing power and name certainly wouldn't do the Class any harm. I'm NOT trying to fan the flames of a recent thread but I'm interested in knowing how F16 Sailors feel about the future of the Class. Do they see it continuing as it is with just a small group of manufacturers servicing a small market or do people really expect F16's to be on a par with F18 sales in a couple of years time?


The question is not about the 104 or other classes.
For me the obvious answer is that having the marketing resources of Nacra or Hobie behind the F16 would be good.

Macca,
With recent threads fresh in mind, I find it sensible for everyone to keep the temperature down on this topic.
