[...] do you really think an F16 is a suitable boat to compare the Topaz to? If Yves Loday wanted to design an F16 we all know how easy that would be.[...]
At the time that's what I was comparing the Topaz with. I wanted to replace the 5.2 and I was looking at what to replace it with.
I briefly considered the Topaz 16 and the Dart 15 as possible alternatives. In the end I went for a F16 because that's one of the largest and most active fleet at my club, and it is way faster than any rotomolded boat.
