So, are saying that the F16 is weight insensitive? A crew of 350 is just as competitive as a crew of 280?
Well because it is a development class, you can have a mast built for the appropiate weight, and have sails made for the weight too.
How's that working out so far?
Ding: How did all this get started? I always thought of the F16 as a single hander with the ability to occassionally add crew.
When I was shopping, I only compared the F16 and A cat. The A was a little more than I wanted to spend and the Blade was built in Florida, had a spinnaker and jib. For me, the Blade just made sense. The light weight made it an A+ boat.
It never occurred to me to compare the F16 to th F18.
