Harry,

no worries, I am not offended, just curious. You should not mention me (or Wouter) in the same sentence as Robbie. He is at olympic level, Wouter and me are hobbyists and weekend warriors. I thought you were being sarcastic becouse both Wouter and I are very vocal and quick to flag our opinions, which dont mean that we are 100% correct all the time. Everybody should do their own evaluation on how much sense there are in posts here!
A professional sailor rarely have the time to post here as he is too busy sailing.

A professional would do what he could to avoid damage to equipment or injuries, but accidents do happen. Hitting another boat or forcing it into a "no options" position is poor sportsmanship in my eyes.


About F16 building, if you really want to build a boat, go with the Blade. But that is a topic more suitable in the F16 forum or the homebuilders forum.
