I wish the F16 and F17 boys and girls could get along. The boats are nearly identical in performance. So geting pissd of about handicap ratings doesnt make a lot of sense to me. You just need to race each other off scatch and beat each other over the line.

For the record ive seen the numbers for the F17 sloop and its 104 texel rating but im sure i ve mentioned this before. You would have to delete a **** load of wieght from the F17 to get it to weigh near any of the production F16s.

F17 is a great boat none the less. They should definitely be starting with and included in the results with the F16s IMO. Maybe we can learn something from the Master Uni rig sailor as well. It would be fun to have a crack at him any way.
