The question to you hotshots is which is the best solo boat for a 6'5", 240 pound person. A-Cat is out. Hobie FX-1? N-17R? Are there other choices?
There is a better choice even.
Formula 16
(much) Lighter, faster and also better class structure then the others named.
In relation to the FX-one it is much cheaper as well.
Probably the only serious competition to the F16's in the US are the A's and nacra 17's
But it should beat both anyway.
To bad the 2 nacra 17's wouldn't take the F16 class up on the invitation to start with them at the tradewinds regatta last weekend. Here the F16's had their own start and racing fleet because of the number of F16's entered.
Would have been nice to see the two really square up head to head. One decided not to come at all and the other opted to start in the open portsmouth class.
