Would you sell an f16 to a noob cat sailor that has never raced, flown a spi etc, or even crewed on a high performance beach cat, and feel good about it in the aforementioned conditions?

Would you store your F16 on the beach?


Monetarily speaking, should I pony up and support this class on the West Coast?

I definitely don't want this post to spur on any politics, I'm just looking for some honest info. Thanks for your thoughtful responses.


Hmmm, Thoughtful?

I think that you already know the answer to the first question. I liken it to asking if you should sell someone a high performance auto for a trip from Paris to Dakar, when they have only previously driven to church on Sundays .

I sail in relative isolation on a Northern lake so I won't touch the questions regarding ocean conditions and F18 comparisons. I do store my boat on a beach but probably not the way you are refering to. Do you tend to leave $16,000 laying around without worrying about other people?

Do you need to money up? Could you become a West Coast distributor, or is that the same as putting money in the game?
