Ok, Tom. Why did you choose the Blade?
I went F16 for the versatility. My situation was/is: inland lake sailing most of the time (light air/flat water),
3. Good light air boat, see local conditions above (no class min weight either).
Thoughts?
OK, our situation, 1,000 of miles from oceans, all inland lakes, predominately medium to heavy air, big wide open lakes where the white caps roll and powerboats too! Short distance between and steep waves prevail.
Are these conditions tolerable for an A cat or F-16? The H16 really hobby horses under these conditions, obviously the TheMightyHobie18 is better, the H20 is best, but all have much more displacement. Does the bouyancy of these new hull designs affect/help performance in the described conditions?
