Perhaps I should have excepted the F16's, as we have not competed against them for any race yet, let alone the twenty odd races that we have raced against most everything else that races, and from the official results that we have on record the only 16' cat that is in the same performance perimeters as the Alpha F14 is the Taipain (and that is not actually 16' but a longer 4.9 metres)
But seeing is believing, and the vision is there for all to see on the DVD that plainly ilustrates my previous statements. Even the Taipan 4.9 sloop (without spinnaker) can be plainly seen being "completely BLOWN AWAY" on the down wind legs
