I think its great that Wouter has just thrown some numbers into his post without any verification whatsoever. Where is the science?

If the F17 has lost 20kgs in weight then it must be missing something (like 4 feet of hull length?) because the laminate has not changed nor has the core so the 20kg must be coming from somewhere!! Maybe the hulls are filled with helium...

Also great to see Wouter taking credit for a manufacturers own development path..?? I think you will find that F16 had nothing to do with the F17 development and its clearly linked to F18.

Oh and by the way the Infusion mast is vastly different to the Capricorn section, but I can understand how it could be mistaken for the same thing... both are long extrusions of alloy...
