Hey Dave -


F18 - putting the women back into regatta parties for spinnaker fleets everywhere.


Okay I FINALLY have to call a BS on this quote. To say the front of an F18 is easier than the N20 is just rubbish!

The part that kicks your butt is the set and take down. In my opinion the effort required to do this on the 20 and 18 is the same. Sure you get a slight break trimming but it aint enough to say it's easier!

If you're deciding between these two boats do not think for a second that your crew is going to get a break on the F18 compared to the N20. Now, if you use this as an arguement (it's easier) to get sweetness on the front of the boat then you are on your own!
