If you only ever go out singlehanded the Acat can't be beat.

If you want to take a friend for a sail sometimes you might want to go for the F16.

The spin is fun but if you are setting it up for every sail the A cat is so easy and quick to set up you would probably get out more.

Both are great boats with light masts. The F16 is overpowered for one person in winds over 15 knots. Of course the A is a handful in 20 knots too.

Both great boats and both point very well.
