I think the F18 is perfectly capable of doing the T500. We've sailed it on an 18HT and an N20.
We're taking a break this year. David and/or I have been there every year since the '00 Worrell as sailors or ground crew.
We'll probably be back in 2007 on an F18 if we can promote a fleet. I tried last year, but no one was interested.
If there are any European teams that are interested in talking to us in person, we're planning on racing the F18 Worlds in Hyeres France this July. Come look us up.
