Yes the Inter17 is on the list - but there aren't many around in the Uk to race. The FX1 sail went well - flying hull singlehanded in a F2 uphill and downhill.



Fittings seem quality and robust - took a different style of sailing to get going - lots of tweeking out/down haul/mast rotation on each leg, and i was lying in the front of the tramp forward of the daggerboads to keep the stern out.



Seemed responsive without being twitchy.

I did capsize (intentionally) but my 14s with righting line needed a little help from the RIB safety boat. If I buy this I will need the frame when I solo in F2 ( particularly as I insist on spending my time on the leeward hull (single man's wild thing) at every opportunity.



Those of you F16 fans - as the following comparisons show the FX1 and (Spitfire) are quite similar: - taking from manufact. brochure



length 5.25m (5m)

beam 2.55m (2.52)

Mast 8.5 (8.5)

Sailing Weight 135kg (139)



Main 16 sqm (15.5)

Spinaker 19m2 (18m2)



SCHS 1.09 (1.04)



Why am I going to find the spitfire any easier to right singlehanded in F2 ??
