Hey mate,

Maybe you should take out some time and get your facts (statements) right.

You call yourself MauganH17 as in H17 = Hobie 17 and you think that you can't fit under the boom of an F16 ? I nearly fell on the floor when I read that one as I've never sailed with a boom setup as low as on the good old H17 ! I had to slither underneath the H17 boom and still have my bouyancy aid hang up on the boom. In the end I just went from one side of the boat to the other by passing in front of the mast.





I really wonder wether you have ever sampled the height under the F16 boom seriously.

There is 500 mm there = close to 2 feet clearing. F18 booms are lower; H16 booms are way lower.

I knew this little bit of Alter Cup news would leave a certain portion of the sailors REALLY sour but you are truly surpassing the wildest of my expectation.




Ohh, and I just thought you were describing the magnitude of your prejudice !
