This was a pretty good discussion in the F16 forums. I have always been an advocate for nice graphics on boats. Other do not like them.

My take on graphics is, if it creates attention and makes our boats more appealing to non-sailors, then why not? Obviously its working on the mono-hulls. Specially the big boats. For example TP52s, Volvos, Americas Cup to name a few.

What do you all think about this approach?
