Ladies and gentlemen,

If you all know when a platform or boat is build in the very beginning there is always a change that something is build which can break, the reason is that you have to make some choices in available materials and calculations, there are also some things you can not calculate but you have to use your experience. In all new boats there are some small errors in the beginning, it happened with Hobie, Nacra, other F18's etc etc etc. But underway you find out what will be the best solution for the problems. If you want to prevent this you build everything much to heavy and the F16 class is boat where you have to work on the limit and to find that limit will cost some errors sometime, specially when you building things by your self or purchase it somewhere else.
My main issue in this response is that most of the people looking on this part of the forum are F16 sailors and i can not imagine that we as F16 class want to anger about things and put fingers to each other because of the type of boat you have. The whole spirit should be, to get the F16 class to a higher level, that we try to help each other to get good and strong boats but build on the limit of the materials.
It is not difficult to break something but it takes a lot more effort to build something good so please let do this.
