There seems to be one reason, why F16 sailors come to this forum or any other is to create problems & then afterward return back to the F16 forum & whine about being picked on. That pretty much summarizes the mentally of the F16 Class. That ridiculing other Classes will serve as a promotional for the F16 Class.
Last fall, I was seriously considering F16, F17 or FX One. Yes, the 16K price was one reason I dropped this boat from my list; but the second reason was the Class attitude.
I can’t be the ONLY person looking for a modern single handed cat that has been turned off by these postings on Cat Sailor Forums.
FYI: Keyboards are not available option on F17s or FX Ones

All I want to do is get a rating up on the
www.schrs.com website. Problem is that no-one will send me the measurement certificate so I can do this.

As for F16 sailors coming into this forum; We've had numerous people, one masquarading as a girl going into the F16 forum for the explicit aim of causing trouble.
IMO, Wouter was pointing out that the Texel numbers do not support the view of Nacra (EU) that the boat rates within the SCHRS 1.035 and 1.045 which allows it to sail as F104. He links tio the measuremnts that were used for the Ronde Om Texel this year. Thus the boat must (I assume) have been measured at Texel) - Wouter, can you confirm that boats get measured at texel if they do not have a current rating for Texel?
I'm a previous Inter 17 owner; It's a fantastic boat; I just wanted a change.
