Unregistered | 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 | | | Re: F16 Global Challenge

Space is a premium so it is what it is.
