Wondering if there are any updates to be posted for the F16 global challenge anywhere? Stacked fleet, doesn't seem to be getting much press on here. Starts today.

Unless its a re-design - he had that about 2 years ago at Tradewinds IIRC.

it is the same 5.0 molds... but new materials (carbon cloth), new wing mast, new carbon rudders and new updated castings design and i THINK he may have moved the beams.
new sail plan as well

I sail often with Hans and he has been sending me images during the build. He is almost 70 and i would LOVE to see him have some success at the event, and go back into production...

Hans is an unbelievably nice guy and an insperation to most of us at the beach.. he sails almost every week with us, and he goes out in 25 knots like its 5 (solo) ....

Bret Moss is sailing it

Where are those people from? The Goodall are from AUS, Paul Warren is from GBR (and from my club, Go Paul!). Anybody else from outside the USA?

If the forecast is correct (SE 15-20 kts) it could make the A mark rounding’s somewhat sporty. The A mark will be set up in the shadow of several 10 story condo's making for some interesting wind lines. Hopefully someone has a camera.

On purpose, or was there no where else to put it?
