I know that I wrote earlier that I would take leave of F16 forum for X-mas, but I was stuck somewhere for a few hours and my company was a PC with a live INTERNET connection. So here goes :
Man, what a pitty !
Do you still own that musto skiff ? Sell that one first ! (Joke !)

That exchange rate between the Euro / AUS$ and the US$ is going to last for quite a while. If you sell that T now you won't be able to buy one back soon. Unless you opt for a domestic Blade F16.
But seriously, It is pitty to see you go. I hope you will never regret the decision.
I hope you daughter gets fully hooked on sailing else I'm sure you'll be very sorry.
Can you do us a favour and introduce he new onwer to the F16 class. When possible invite him to contact us, the class. I like to keep track of the boats and the sailors so I can advice interested sailors properly. As you know we don't do spam or unnecessary mails so his contact info will be quite safe.
Best wishes for 2005 Paul !
With kind regards,
Wouter
