Why didnt you get Swell to build the Spitfire to the F16 rules?
I've invited builders to join the F16 setup, I don't force them to join. The Swell catamaran company owners had other plans I guess. Ask them for the "why" ?

The Spitfire was designed as a "One Design" by Olympic Gold Medalists Yves Loday and Reg White in 2000 - before the F16 Association was set up. We bought our first one in March 2001.
The boat is fast, but also the guys and girls sailing them in the UK and France are some of the best sailors in Europe. Stuart Gummer was a Spitfire sailor last year - this year he is at the top of the European F18 fleet in a Capricorn. He won in Aruba.
For those who know the name Reg White from the 60s and 70s - he is still racing a Spitfire and even winning some races.
Watching that video makes me want to get the plastic off my new Spitfire and get sailing, but the weather forcast for next weekend is "wintery showers"
