Well, we had some F18 sailors of note coming over to the F16 forum, giving vent to their views, I figured turn about was fair play.
But, the point has been made. Time to go home.
Myself personnaly, I am currently a Tornado sailor (crewing for a friend) and will be purchasing a new boat soon. Could be an F16 (Viper would ne nice) or may be a taipan 4.9 which will be fitted with a kite for non Tiapan events.
A quote from the F16 forum that sums it up.
Is absolute stiffness even desirable, or is some flexibility a good thing?
Like weight, I suspect it's importance is overstated.
