I am sure the F16 sailor's (from here) veiws are a lot different than that of sailors from the F18, A Class and Tornado class for example. Perhaps this discussion should be on the open forum where there will be less bias and should I say it..... A more experienced view.

And for all those who say you can not build a lighter boat because the class restricts the min weight..... you are correct. But you can sure as hell build a stiffer one with more volume. And to think it would not cost more than an A class and not be a quicker product is sticking your head in the sand.
