Robi, how can you tell there is humor in that post? aside from the smiley face? Are you not concerned that someone researching the F16 might have just formed a negative opinion on the class and boat?
I agree that message boards should not be your final decision making, but it may help you decide which boats to test sail.
I think Mark and Matt have made good points. Is Mr. Curry angling for a free boat from VM (don't do it Matt M)?
