My point is I was two up on my F16 last year at least 350lbs on board, we had a great time, won the class. All this "Midget Crew" required talk is nonsense. It's a great platform, and unless you have raced it, I do not see how you can critiqe it, I have owned both Inter 20 and F 16. As I said earlier, if you are racing distance in a big ocean with good crew, get the Inter 20. If you are racing solo, even in big wind, get the F16 or F17.

Being "heavy" solo on the F16 is a blessing when it starts blowing and really doesn't slow you down much when it's not blowing. One bad tack or a bad startw will do hurt you much more. He said he doesn't like crew. So you tell him to get a two up boat and he's too big for a F16? Complete Nonsense.

And the Inter 20 can be a handfull even with two big guys, when it's blowing, right? That's what Tradewinds last year has to do with it.

There is no -one- perfect boat for every weight and wind condition, that's why I said we should all own at least 4-5 boats!
