Everyone here is whining about something for nothing. The manufacturers are very interested in the F104 class <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />. Get over it.

Taking off my moderators hat.
You're not provoking, you're taunting. I don't care personally, but you annoy some folks and are in danger of being "shunned".
Please note that this is not the general forum. It is the F16 forum. We regulars have coalesced around the class. We believe in it and enjoy our boats and others who sail them. That alone is testament to the growing strength of the class; a sense of identity not dependant on the views of others.
It is my opinion that you are sailing a dinosaur and only your very excellent sailing skills make it look good.
Shall we put together a Formula Challenge? F boats only? The 17s and 18s have greater depth of experience and talent, you should win easily. Nevertheless, the F16 will win any number of admirers and converts. I don't think the other F boats will do either.
Time to put up, dude! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
