No mast spreaders though. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> Somewhat along the lines of the GCat F16, which I thought was a tremendous design, because it could be an entry level boat, then upgraded to full F16 compliance. Wonder what it weighs?

Posts: 435 Finland | Can't be expensive to add a boom and spreaders really. B.O.A.T = "Break Out Another Thousand" Yes, thats the big problem about the F 16, everything you have to buy is is costing it's weight in GOLD. | | | Re: RaceCat RC-16

Posts: 115 | Easy guys... We've never promote the boat as F16 breed ...YET... as our main focuse right now is promoting F18 in South America. That´s why is called now "RC 16" and no RC F16 like our F18. These photos are from our standard recreational cat. Delivered in Uruguay to our first client (60 years old milloinaire that I can assure you it doesn't give a damn that she has no boom!! jeje) Right now the boat comes standard with "Nothing" for the recreational market. That main sail is even the 1st prototype made with "window clloth" provided by error by DP. Here you have a better look to the hulls. I've design the boat with the F16 in mind, she is full capable of supporting an F16 full racing rig. Wait till march-april, after supplying local overdemand for our F18 we'll POWER UP the baby. Regarding prices: We are selling our new version F18 for $10.600USD. With full Harken, Flex 4oz Main and Jib (no photos at the site yet as we are delivering 6 new F18 v2 right now) So for I think for $7000-8000usd we can have a full F16 boat, could be less, I need to make some numbers. Eeeassy, when we have it F16 ready , we'll contact the class and promote de boat. Just take a look to THE hull... full planning machine. http://www.catamaran.com.ar/images/rc16/index.html | | | Re: RaceCat RC-16

Posts: 435 Finland | Gato,
is it your opinion that F-16 parts are more expensive than other beachcat parts, or are you comparing to something else like "big boat" parts? Comparing to what it costs to build them yourself. Normally when building you can save about 30% and here you can save about 70%. Is it not the same reason why you are thinking of making the most your selfe? | | |
