Currently there are no plans to make a full foiling or partially foiling F16. It is still not regarded to be a winning concept over all encountered conditions.

Personally I don't believe that full foiling is the route to succes anyway. If anything partial foiling is the way to go. This means that less then 100 % of the total weight is supported by the foils. The remainder is still in bouyancy mode (displacent). However no plans are considered of this setup either. For really effective partial foiling you need to use asymmetric foils which in themselfs are not particually handy in a crowded fleet. Pretty much the luff board needs to be raised while the lee one is fully lowered. This makes "banging a tack" rather problematic.

So don't hold your breath guys.
