Wouter-
<br>Have you started building your boat? Are you taking photos of the process to post for those interested?
<br>Inquiring minds want to see!
<br>On the mast height issue neither of us brought up the fact in the unrestricted "A" class they tried taller (than 8m) masts but w/ sailarea, length and beam limited, 8m seemed to be the limit at which "taller was better", so it's somewhat natural to assume that a height of this same dimension, or perhaps even less, would be optimal for the F16HP (IMO).
