Huw,



I admit that I would be very pleased with another F16 in the UK as will be several others who are just stepped in but I don't want to put you under pressure of any kind. As far as I'm concerned you're welcome on this forum what ever you sail. I'm not involved with any builders and most of the others aren;t too. We all do this for fun and to present an (better) alternative.



At minimum you would be aware of the F16 class and likely to spread the word even when you opt to go for say a Dart 18. And that is our win already as we can use some more public attention.



>> Decided only true way is to sail everything and make my mind up.



That is indeed the "only true way".



>>very much appreciate the wisdom you have shared - keep it flowing!



I'm sure we will and feel free to drop in on this forum when you want too.



Wouter
