Vectorworks marine went from being an unknow in the cataramaran scene to a household name in under 2 years. And impressive rise to fame if there ever was one. There has been alot of interest by many parties in the activities by VWM, but I have never seen any announcement of VWM doing a F18HT. An F16 indeed, several are sailing around the world as we speak, there was also an declaration of license building the Bim XJ A-cat, in the past there was even a intention of building the ultimate 20 foot distance racer but F18HT ? Please, direct me to any pubication that is validated by VWM officials. Either I totally missed something over the last months or this is one major unfounded rumour.

Personally I see VMW come out with a F18 before any other design. The US market for F18's is just heaps better. F18HT is a class that need full defribillation if boats are to be sold. That is not an economic attractive proposition.
