Not sure I would want to be following Hobie Europes lead if the FX1 has got anything to go by, great two man mini F18, poor single hander, Hobie Europe just got things wrong and is now trying to fit a design into a new market ( rather than fitting an intended market ) to try and recover some of their design outlay.

Anyway why all the discussion, we have now probably around 200 F16 boats out there actively sailing, why upset those owners by changing things at this stage, I for one would be setting up a F16 lightweight class if ever there was a change to a heavier detuned version, as the boats as they are, are just toooooooo much fun. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
