<br>Hi have an Inter 18 in sunny Holland and am very happy with the way she sails, upwind she rips along and in a strong wind the boat can keep up with the 20's whilst they are overpowered with the smaller crews. Light winds are a slightly different story in my opinion though.

<br>
<br>As far as I know the F18 has not really taken of in the states, don't know why maybe its a crew size thing, mind you the dutch are not small by any means.
<br>
<br>The boat sails Ok with the jib furled in, however you could have some interesting landings on the beach in an onshore blow.
