Thanks MauganN20.

I need to do more F18 research. That's where I see us going. Although my wife would be perfectly content with a standard Hobie, I think I'd get bored over time. I should probably try and hook-up with some F18 owners in my area this winter to learn as much as I can about rigging and sailing one before deciding and buying something in the Spring.

How much difference do the F18 rules allow for in terms of boat design? In other words, how different are the various F18 makes (Tiger, Nacra, etc.)?
