Realistically I’d guess the minimum righting weight for the F16 would be somewhere around 190 lbs (87kg.) the Taipan would require slightly less and the Nacra 17 would require more (weight). <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
No, The F16 does not require anywhere near that much.
I am about 80kg and I've been told I'll have no problems with mine, and I believe there are even lighter sailors out there who do not have a problem righting their boats.
Yes, under the right conditions… <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
preferably sunny....
One of the class rules for the F16 is that you must be able to right the boat unaided (single or 2 handed).
Sorry, but have you tried to right an F16 ? The fact the boat CAN be righted easily, is one of the strong points. I bet the F16 is easier to right than most boats because of the light all up weight.
