I like the F16s. Doesn't matter to me who makes it, I like the Viper, the Falcon and the Nacra (I'm partial to Nacra's F16 because I like the hull shapes). I wish Hobie made an F16. I think the F16 fits perfect for ISAF needs (baring any Brazil swindling). The recent regatta at Thailand show how strong the F16 platform is.

I also want to get back into cat sailing (don't like the curved foil stuff going on... for no real reason, other than I think it's complicating the daggers). I owned and sailed-to-death a Hobie16. It was fun while it lasted. I don't ever want another H16 and am relieved that the F16 is growing in popularity. I got into windsurfing because I didn't want another H16 (and there was nothing better in the 80s-90s). The F16 is a hit because my wife doesn't sail and ALL my sailing friends got married and or disappeared.

Hoping for an F16 win!
