The F17 is a 104.
If you swapped the Wire for PBO then there is about 3kg saved, if you did trap wires too then its a bit more saved.
A Carbon pole is going to be a kilo or 2 lighter but its nowhere near a saving of 25kg...
But Wouter will for sure supply us with irrefutable proof that the F17 has somehow lost 25kgs <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Back to F16 subjects, does anyone know the weights of the boats that competed at Texel? Maybe if they were heavier than the F16 rating they could have got an advantage from re rating under the texel rating?
