Hi Mike, isn't it the middle of the night there?? can't you sleep??
There a a lot of potentual f14's throughout Australia,Mike, for many years they were sold in the largest numbers of all cats (before the economic downturn throughout the 80's and 90's) and many of the production 14' cats could be quite easily converted to be quite competative as f14's, But as to interest in F14's in Australia goes, the sailors here are generally a very laid back type of character who doesn't get out there and "talk" publicly about his sailing, (although get him in a group of sailors with a few beers and you can't shut him up untill he's solved all the problems of the world) and as such, the only real way of assessing the potentual of F14's is to actually put one out there, compete with it at all the majour events that you can and see how many you can sell. That's about the only way I know of truly finding out just how much "real" interest there is on the subject. Thats what we hope to do over the next couple of years, advertise nationally and compete where ever we can ( or where ever we can best be seen)
