Nice try Pete, but F16's will never be on the start line of the Tybee 500.

They are too nervous in boat handling and that REALLY wears you down after more then a few hours sailing.

F16 are course boats with sufficient capabilities for a distance race of a single day or so. Not for working your way up the coast in storms and breaking waves for a whole week long.

Even if the boats can take it (they probably can) , the crews riding them can't.


Hell, not even I harbor such illusions ! grin
