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?
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 .
The analogy with race cars seems very limited.
Among the advantages of the F16, as advertised by the people promoting the class, are the light weight as well as the ability to sail 1-up and 2 up.
That alone is is very convincing.
Sure it is also a race boat, and there are technicality associated with that which may or may not be a show-stopper depending on the sailor.
So is there an other boat that SurfCity should consider if F16 is "too difficult", and indeed reserved to an racing crew ?
