Don't you just love it that a class of boats that call themselfs the most advanced and developped singlehander class in the world, were all materials and design features are allowed, are getting crumpy over our "one big compromise" F16's ?
We had so much fun with the F16s on and off the water recently in the UK that the A Class association is trying to make sure that we have the next UK A Class Nationals on a day that the F16s can join us for a TT or Nationals of their own. I observed respectful interest in two completely different designs and philosophies that end up at about the same speed; but absolutely nobody being "grumpy" in any way, shape or form. You really are fanning a non-existant flame; the boats
compliment eachother beautifully...
Actually I lie, the guy doing the scoring got a bit grumpy about trying to keep track of which boat and which crew people were sailing with from race to race...!
