I agree with Steve about the Blade.

After 3 months of looking at my Blade in the back yard, I was finally was able to get it out for the first time during Spring Fever. Even with no previous experience sailing the boat, it was very predictable on all points of sail. I was able to sail the boat in a wide variety of conditions during the regatta and was very pleased with the performance of the boat. I was able to single hand the boat without any problems and was very pleased how well the boat reacted weight placement. The boat was also very easy to right without assistance.

The fellow Blade/F16 sailors were the best part of the experience. Terry gave me tips on how to step the mast and rig the boat alone. Joanne was crawling around under the boat to show me how to rig the chute. Oley helped me through a difficult halyard issue. I even got a free t shirt out of the deal. If you are looking for a class with friendly people and top notch boats then look no further than the F16.

Cheers,
Neville
