If the F16 is indeed as fast as the F18 then why don't you fix your number or better yet... ask your respective race committees to race straight up with the F18's.
Done that plenty off times, without results, so don't blame this one on us.
For some reason US PN numbers are holy even when they are patently wrong.
And are you saying that heavy crews are slow... The US F16 guys are saying crew weight doesn't make a difference. Which is it?
We are saying neither. We are saying that crew weight on fast spi boats matters a whole lot less then many sailors think. If you put 440 lbs on a F16 then yes you will indeed be noticeably slower. However the range 275 lbs to 350 lbs seems very evenly matched.
