An F16 goes upwind like an N20" and an "F16 is weight insensitive, with the right mast and cut of sails" .



We never claimed these things, it is the other side that has intepreted the things we did say as such. Not our fault.

It's one thing to be enthusiastic about your boat, but the story telling is getting out of hand.



And I fully agree with you on this statement. If an untruth has been told by any F16 owner then I'll be among the first to admit to that. Problem at this time may be however that we didn't tell any untruths yet.

I'm sorry

I didn't say 'untruths' did I? Interesting that you read it that way though. I'd apolgise for not being clear, but it's not my fault that you read it wrong.

The stories are more along the lines of omission. Take for example your story about my performance at the Area D's. I finished sixth at that event, not exactly my finest hour, kinda falls into that 'also ran' status. And yes Matt and Gina sailed a heck of a race, but the other side of that story is that the Jason's (F18) and Kenny and JC (N20) sailed a better series. Significantly better! Between the two teams they took 6 of the 7 bullets. So what does this say about the F16, F18 and N20... I don't know! I'm going to wait for the results of the Alter Cup this spring. Then we'll see if its the boat or if it's the team... my money is on "it's the team".
