I hear you Wouter, but there's no interest for the F16 here in FNQ, why???? I'm at a Loss to explain other than the aforementioned reasons. I believe that the factories that manufacture the F16s are based in Victoria (Victorians generally have a low opinion of Queenslanders) and South Australia. I did speak to one F16 sailor, and was on my way to owning one at one stage until I had a sail of the Inter17.
Since then it has been a case of trying to build my cat sailing skills and I'm now at the point of starting to learn Spinnakers. I have all the theory done and locked in the skull. But as you'd be well aware, theory is theory, practical application is another thing.
If you ever come to Australia, you are welcome to stay here, I have a spare room, and you can have a sail of Devons boat. I have a new Nacra coming also, but not of the Inters calibre.
Oh BTW, Corrections don't piss me off at all, I've only really started to see the difference between the F/I17, previous to this thread, i was of the belief that they were one and the same boat. We do value your opinion and I must apologise to you for the rant, because you have only posted quality information in our section. And for that i Thank you.
