The F16 is more than capable of supporting mixed, anyhow all the teams would be mixed but yes they would all be midgets, or asians . no offence to the asians but they are a smaller race and would dominate those events. 16 ft is way way too small a cat and would be less spectator and exiting than the Tornado, it has no foiling capabilities, and the current number of manufacturers and the class development will halt! Just like it did in the T`s for decades, forget the F16.. The real problem here is multihulls and sailing need a real jolt and it must be done using a boat with those capabilities EG bigger and better than the tornado and at the moment the only cat that i can see that meets those requirments is the carbon nacra! And it should be a all male boat, sorry girls but F16`s would suit a all girl team better. At this stage i believe that the ISAF is ****ing up badly again by making cats mixed
