I've been racing regularly with my small rigged F16. The hulls need a topcoat of paint to be finished. The kite and sundry parts are on order, may arrive this week. Basically it is a sloop rigged mosquito rig with kite on top of F16 hulls.

I'm not too fussed about my boat being a bit under spec with respect to the F16 rules because it usually blows 15-20knots each week and is quite choppy. This is my first real season in a cat so learning to make them go is a priority. Plans are underway to acquire the parts to bring it up to full spec in a year or so once the crew and I are comfortable with the boat.

Since there are few other F16's in the area and none that race regularly, there is no rush. The Hobies, Taipans and F18s enjoy trying to convert me. Some of them are a bit blunt about it though.
