I hope to finalize a deal with Matt (this week or next) on a Blade. I'll get to the Gulf Coast more often and probably Spring Fever - nothing in concrete (kinda like my boat deal).
I'd like to put together an ad hoc F16 race calendar where we get as many F16s on the water as possible at the same events. Any input - likes, dislikes, already have one, etc.....?
Let me know how that Boat deal works out, I'm in for the same ride.
Hope that Alter Cup qualifier deal works out for Matt. I'm sure it will influence the US F-16 class in a large way, at least in terms of numbers of boats available.
Wonder how many boats that will be? Also if that will make getting a Blade harder or impossible to obtain when they're tooling up for a volume run like that?
Any any case I'll see you at Spring Fever, Who knows what I'll be sailing on by then, have had ~9 cats at Spring fever in 6 years, I generally deliver or pick up my new boat there annually. (Thanks to Nigel)

I May be sailing F-18 or F-16 next year as SF, if I'm between Performance Cats I'll have to be on my Hobie 16 what a Pain o Rama!
