Are there more F16s in US than reflected on web site or does it mean you would race mainly open class? Thanks.
This feb 2006 there will be about 50 F16's in the USA. Most of them in the south-east of the USA. Internationally we are passed 150.
The class was invented 5 years ago, so indeed the F16's are a small but growing class. In the south-east of the US the F16 boats make class regulary at events. This fleet is actually quite active considering its current small size.
About halve the racing is open class, but that isn't any different with respect to any other make of singlehander. Probably the A-cat class makes class most often over the whole USA but even they often race open class. There is simply not a singlehanded class anymore that makes class often and everywhere. The catamaran scene is changing.
