"Are you suggesting that the massive worldwide f18 fleet is not living in the real world?"
I'm suggesting that the F18 is just too heavy for some of us and the 1 or 2 up versatility makes the F16 a preferable platform. I want a light boat. If I were willing to lug around some amount of lead, it would be as well to sail a monohull.
I'm skeptical about the numbers of boats and sailors. If total numbers are dwindling, how can any class be "massive"?
