I'm selling my boat for a similar reason as Sam, getting ready for Worlds 2018. I'm partnering with another skipper and I will be co-owner. Any offer will be heard for my boat.

A lot of F18's on the market isn't a bad thing, a buyers market is good for the class. The sky isn't falling and the class remains strong, I expect a build up to Worlds 2018 then a dip after. Yes we can do better with our PR and the executive committee is creating a marketing plan with a budget that is sustainable.

Yes the Hobie 16 is STILL the king of one-design multihull racing. If you poo poo the class then shame on you! If you poo poo the F18 fleet... get in the queue with the other haters, I'm looking squarely at you Mike. It's a point of pride for me when someone says the F18 is the Hobie 16 of the spin fleet. Any class should covet the success of the Hobie 16 fleet.
