Ok, lets change tack here.

If I put two Blade F16 on a beach, identical hull shape and setup. Both boats had the same overall weight and complied with the F16 rules.

One boat was a std Blade as delivered by Vector works, glass hulls, alloy beams, boom, spi pole and mast.

The other was build using carbon hulls, beams, boom, spi pole and mast.

Which boat are you going to choose? (anyone who says the std boat can leave the room right now)
