I'd like to see the F16 class grow and still keep my costs down.

For me, the weight and performance are ideal. I'd be happy to freeze developement at this point. At the same time, I fear that would be the death knell of the class.

Hence the debate. [/quote]

For 99.9% of the people out there, there are more performance gains to be had by just learning how to sail better with what you have. Thinking you can buy performance is not a reasonable expectation and a very bad investment no matter if it is only $5 more expensive. It is just as easy to sail poorly with a carbon mast as an aluminum one.
