What a shocking revelation
For years Simon has been posting on the f16 forum and being one of KW's biggest supporters.
What is wrong with being constructive on a forum where
some people like my input and value it. I am out to make friends with likeable catamaran sailors, not upset people.
I have never been a "Supporter" of Wouter, I just don't believe in having a go at people for no reason, I object you your tone.
He gave the impression that he was trying to sell his I-17 in order to buy an f16.
Erm, no; I have told people that an F16 was a possible next boat; I never said "I am going to buy a F16", or "it is a strong possibility I will buy an F16". IIRC, I said the possibles were
1, F16
2, A class
3, M18
4, Inter 17R
5, Something else
But it turns out he is going to have a one-off, none-Class legal, carbon 18 footer built.
How ironic
Why is it ironic ? So it matters to you that I have decided to get something built that will fit what I want to do. And it
will be class legal, it will measure as a catamaran and so will be able to race under the measurement rule we use in the UK for catamarans, and yes, for now it will be a one-off.
Are there any other "pretenders" to the f16 class here?
You ?
How am I pushing a non F16 design?; am I asking everyone to sell their F16's and join me ?
No.
Once the 17 is sold and the boat is in final design/decision and build I will start a thread in the general area to discuss it.
