Dear readers,
As you maybe know Wouter did already very much for the development of F16 the last few years. As also noticed on the forum he had the problem with the time in regards to hs study. Wouter is a also member on the sailing club in Zandvoort and we had some discussions goiing on about the F16 and also the chairman and intr. F16 organisation.
I talked to him about this and start working on this, mean while there was some contact with Matt about the Blade F16 in Europe and this is worked out to a set up so the Blade F16 build by VWM is available in Europe. The first boats will arrive in March at the workshop in Zandvoort. In line with these developments the call for a international organisation is getting bigger. So my request is that anyone who has time and feels that he can help participate in the organisation to make the F16 class international a stable and in one direction going organisation.
If you need further information please let me know at the following e-mail address. info@bladeeurope.com
The idea is that it would be better that people sailing in different types of F16 are running the organisation. This to prefent that one boat type get more attention than the other and to avoid that people can give this a feeling of unfear threatment.
I hope to get your positive reactions and build a good and stable F16 class worldwide.

Best regards,
