My only concern is with righting it, as it is heavier than the minimum for F16s, at 135Kg.


Mainsail is too big, boat too wide and Spi too big to fit the F16 rules.

I assumed you rounded as I get 1.029 as a rating....



But could still be raced singlehanded! Okay, not at Spitfire events but for club racing every weekend. It may not fit the F16 rules but that is neither the issue or a problem. Given the option of a boat to sail 1 or 2 up at club level and the opportunity of fleet open racing I'd still go spitfire, making sure I had a crew for the opens/nationals.
