As the moderators seem unable to " moderate " for fear of being accused of censoring this thread, may I remind everbody of the original start of this thread.

"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? "

Please, it had nothing to do with weight. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
