Pete, thanks for the warning. I looked up the link for F16 you posted. Are there more F16s in US than reflected on web site or does it mean you would race mainly open class? Thanks.
Yes, but not many. It is a small but growing class. This is not an easy boat to master. IMO, you should only buy one if you are looking for a challenge! Otherwise, a Hobie Getaway is a good choice.
I'll try and find the Frapper link. It has a map of F16 locations. In the mean time, give th F16 forum a look. It's here on Catsailor. Just go to the main index.
