You can forget wings. It's a whole collection of bad ideas.
#1: The real reason is that they would drag when you're flying the kite. The hull flies very high downwind under spinnaker. Leeward wing would drag and slow you down or worse.
#2: I love a winged boat, H-17 and H-18 but they really add a lot to weight and cost and no one with any sense is going to waste that kind of time and effort, and EXPENSE.
#3: F-16 is a growth class and you really are missing the point of it if you modify your boat off class specs. Why spent $12000 on a boat only to deliberately screw it up. Just furl the jib and be done with it if you're overpowered.
#4: F-16 was not designed for that, like the H-17's were. How many times have you flown a hull high in a puff and dragged a wing on your 17?
It's exciting but r e a l l y S L O W W W.
Even the Hobie 18 Magnum was an expensive experiment, a lot of weight was added just to be able to let an 18 fly solo. [color:"red"] [/color]
No room to add to the 230# weight of the F-16 without shaving it off somewhere important.
So enjoy your flight of fantasy, but I'd bet my Spinnaker Sheet that you'll never see one.
