Can sum it up by saying that in terms of deflection from 'most flexible' to 'least flexible' (from what I have seen).. Blade - Taipan - Viper. Enough said.
Scott,
You are obviously a representative of Prosail Asia & a AHPC distributor, be very carefull when making "blanket" statements when referring to the "Blade" range of catamarans.
In future you should either refer to a blade as
1. - Home built Blade F16 (Various Locations)
2. - Vector Works Manufacturered Blade F16 (USA)
3. - Formula Catamarans built Blade F16 (AUS)
I make this statement as I personally have viewed all three with great interest & while the 3 boats have come from the same designer, they all have variables that can not be referred to in a single statement.
Personally I also struggle generally people making unsubstantiated comments about products they have not had the opportunity to survey.
On a lighter note - I am now very envious that your local club has nearly 40 F16's sailing & I would love to bring one of our boats to line up for the "Face Off"!
