It is my belief that it (Viper F16) has made a dramatic advance to what is happening with F16. ... At the end of the year, the Viper will draw alot of attention, and will simply close the gap on the 18's and 20's.
It is exiting to read your report !
We are always happy to welcome another enthousiast.
Yet, I feel alot is contributed to the Viper that is not really its doing. Closing the gap to the 18's and 20's was already done by the F16 class as a whole. Crews have been running with "the 18/20 foot pack" on Blade's and Stealth's for quite a while now. And the Viper F16 rig is basically the next iteration in a development that was started on the Taipan F16's and Blade F16's that use the exact same masts and had proven the viability of the concept with Landenberger, Ashby and Glaser sails.
I dare say it is the F16 as a class that is continuing to do what it set out to do; as you righlty said : "Change things".
The Viper F16 is the latest installment !
And again it is shown that the best way to explain the F16 class is to have somebody take a test ride. as no-one believes what we say or claim before having it experienced themselves. Then there is no denying it.
And as always; F16 growth maybe gradual but it is also garanteed !
