Nice article about Matt, Falcon Marine, and F16s.....not enough about Gina. I had to laugh, when CSN started a paragraph with "accidental impulse" and it follows with "I met my wife". At least Matt qualified that buying his catamaran was "one" and not "the" biggest events in his life.

BTW, the "Maryland fleet" @ WRSC is now 10 with an 11th on its way from Down Under. It's a menagerie with 2 Taipans including one of the original USA delivered boats, 1 VMW Blade, 3 2007 Alter Cup Blades, 3 Vipers, & 2 Falcons. There are also some local lurkers that are waiting for the right opportunity to make their move and pull the trigger.

Jeff just sent an email. He's buying a VW Blade. So that makes how many? Ed

You'll need to take off your shoes Ed because it is more than ten. Twelve!!!! F16s located at one club, sticks up and ready to go.

This year's Pumpkin Patch Regatta, October 16-17, will be a great event for the F16 fleet because we also have outside boats coming to the party.

Did I say there were lurkers waiting for the right opportunity to pull the trigger?

Do I have to name the rest? One is going to be another new boat, I bet.

Good news indeed.

Yes, fantastic.

I believe we have three boats for sale (Blade, Falcon and Viper) within CRAW so we could gain ground in the next season.

Just out of curiosity, how many US F16 do we have on our mailing list?

Interesting point Tom. I only maintain a list of current & former USF16 members. There is a whole group of other US F16 sailors out there that I have not collected.

Yikes, I'm making work for myself now (website, website, website - this is when Kirk surfaces). Time to recruit some help.

You're doin' a fine job!
