Anyway, it's fun to see you have entered into the male dominated world of sailing



Hey ! Currently we have alot of women on F16's

Mavis Harnden
Kelly Gray
Inge Hamstra
Hester Deutekom
Gina McDonald
Sue Davis
Alice Lim
Jennifer Lindsay (although now much less so then in the past)

and now Mary Gilbertson

And these are just from the top of my head because there are more in Singapore and such.


Pretty much all double handed crews are mixed on F16's. If they are not then the boat is being singlehanded by a guy.


Personally I really appreciate this development and I'm not just saying that as a guy. From early on we stated that out F16 target group was light to medium crews with additional attention to MIXED crews. It seems that we are pretty succesful at our latter goal and that I value alot.
