The F18 is for the expert only, big money cat sailors. They should put the 4 hour erection warning on the side of the boat.
I have to take complete exception to this quote. Our first F18 cost us $500.00 more then we sold our Hobie 20 for. We can after a few times of getting things figured out set up and take down a F18 faster then a Hobie 20, usually 30-35 min. And Kelly who would have spent about 15 driving a boat before we switched on the F18 leaned to sail on a F18 and in less then a year is a very good sailor. All classes have pluses and minus depending on your point of view, but can we not all get along and just enjoy the great sport of sailing.
