Wouter,

I can understand your avid love of the F16 and want to pump up the class, but I don't appreciate your trashing the A Class. As you know I have sailed and raced an F16. To compare the two is like apples and oranges. When the F16 can compete heads up with the A Class without adding a quasi spinnaker to do it, then you can make a fair comparison. Until then they are two different animals.
To each his own.

PS. I got into sailing catamarans to get away from a spinnaker boat and desire to sail with one.
