just my 2 cents -yes ,-though have not sailed a true F-16 currently with kite.
I,ve sailed various 16s and do own a SC 15 which is a joy to sail ,-I love taking it out when there are high winds and storm warnings on the lake ,--and yes have pitchpoled it numerous times ,--great fun ,-it is very capable ,but slower .
Rules require 2 as crew -so crew weight becomes much more a proportional factor , The Atlantic Ocean can be an awfully unforgiving environment to boats and crews unfamiliar with it and unprepared to race 100 mile legs on it . Most veteran racers choose the 20 ft Length category for good reason .
