Hi everyone,

Just a quick post (at Wouter's request) to let you all know that after more than a year of looking, I finally tracked down and bought a Stealth F16. Photo attached is of our first sail on Tuesday 12th April just a couple of days after picking the boat up. She's a 2002 boat and in pretty good condition (especially the sails).

We had a really good shakedown and were very impressed that even though winds were light at just 5-7mph, it was easy to power up and at one point get both of us on the wire with the kite up.

Sailing with me was my eldest lad, home from uni for a few days - now he doesn't want to go back!

I'm looking forward to playing with the boat this year and learning to get the best I can from it - I guess that most of the time I'll be singlehanding.

Cheers everyone,
