Chris,
Excellent point about the F18 class allowing for an a la carte approach to rigging and remaining class legal, hadn't thought of that at all!
Hmmm...maybe we can go dumpster diving in the F18 wreck market, piece together a boat on the cheap, and call her "Pot Luck". <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Wouter,
Thanks, it's always good advice to go into a dealer of anything and tell them you're seriously considering their competitors product.
