Finally Raced My Blade

I was in Rocky Point Mexico this weekend for the Rocky Point Challenge. My wife and I sailed the first day in a light wind long distance race that turned out to be only two legs of an AC course (12 miles total). We did really bad downwind the first leg but much better the second leg when we sailed a higher course.

The next day I sailed in triangle races by myself with only the Main. This boat is an absolute blast unirigged. I was tacking and jybing all over the place between races because it was so much fun. The Blade tacks and jybes very fast because of the flat bottom.

I was not able to beat a P19MX or Inter20 but as the wind came up to around 10 MPH I was at least in the hunt.

There will be pictures in a few days on my fleets website. I'll let you know when.

Awesome Stephen, ain it fun! Good to hear you are having a blast, that is what its all about.

Hey ! Give yourself a little bit of time (on the boat) before trying to out run P19MX's and I-20's. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Those are big and fast boats when well sailed ! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Every time it is thrilling to see another happy F16 owner.





Yes, that and the fact that the rudder board profile is just about 10 times better then those of Hobie and Nacra boards !

Alot of work went into those profiles and it shows. One of those things we F16's leased from the A-cats.

I'd love to see your pics.

Later.

Just a reminder - everyone can get an account the formula16.org website which gives you your own user gallery where you can upload photos. Just drop me a PM if anyone needs help doing it.
