I haven't seen that many posts since the 'Alter Cup' about people receiving their new F16's not only in the US but UK and AUS. I know there are a couple in the process of being built and the sailors in Holland and Belgium have gone into hibernation but I do feel that as a Class we might be stagnating.
Some people might think that it is up to the manufacturers to market the Class as obviously it is in their interests to sell boats but I also think we as the current F16 sailors should help spread the word so to speak.
So to get to the point, what is the best way to get more people to appreciate and buy a brilliant F16 Cat? I don't want to get into a bun fight over the alleged virtues of this forum to the F16 Class. I want to know peoples views on how to keep the momentum going pretending this forum didn't exist
I'm sure that everybody who attended the Global Challenge went home feeling very happy with themselves for setting the real and personal international foundations of the Class but I am concerned that we aren't attracting new blood. Good marketing seems to be a good way to start but apart from this forum would you have realised or have heard about our Global Challenge. No, so we have failed in this respect for starters. So any other suggestions?
