"Something else I am interested to know regarding the F16 rules if I put a larger rig and wings on my Mosquito and it all fitted within the F16 rule would I be able to race as a optimised F16. I have sold Twice Bitten and am currently looking at getting a new boat made out of the same mould as Tim's boat, I sailed Tim's at a recent reggatta and it was faster than Twice Bitten and more bouyant, possibly able to cope with full F16 weight, so think it may be worth having two rigs and take on the Taipans and others with F16 rig."

Hi Gary, good to see you`re considering staying with the Mozzie ! Have you thought of just getting longer beams & a spare (larger) tramp to get the boat to max. beam ? that would add less weight than racks, be easier to sail with & get the weight of one hull out where it adds righting moment. Only downside would be dismantling boat between F16 & standard mozzie for class racing.
Are you thinking of going full height mast, or just maxxing the sail area out on the mozzie mast?
Which mould did Tim`s hulls come out of, Chris Trewern`s or Faye ? I quite like the look of Trewern`s hulls, very narrow decks with more bouyancy lower down.

Cheers
Steve
