I think Stuart and wife will be fine on a F18, as they would be on a F16 if they are 330 lbs or there abouts. I sail mine at 342 lbs.

I don't much understand the F18/F16 bickering in this thread, from either side.

Not much F16's there up North (yet!), so F18 is probably the way to go for them unless Stuart or wife want to do some solo sailing regulary. Then the F18 becomes the lesser attractive choice.

Probably the best use they can make of the F16 is walking up to a nacra of hobie dealor and mention that buying an F16 is under serious consideration; you'll probably see the price of the F18's drop inmediately ! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
