This bring the total of fully compliant boats to no less then 7 ; build by 5 different builders on 3 different continents !

A level of diversity that belongs to a true formula class.


The listing :

Taipan F16 (modified to full specs at the factory; a few of those are around)
Stealth F16
VWM Blade F16
Aussie Blade F16
Viper F16
Falcon F16
Raptor F16

AHPC, the A is for "Asia", outsource production of the Viper and Taipan to Thailand. So would that be considered 4 continents?

And also wondered why they build the hulls in Thailand, then ship them all the way to Bendigo/Australia, fit them out, and then send them around the world. The boats would be cheaper if they got the local Thai's to fit them out. And there are heaps of sail lofts in SE Asia and China who make sails for all the big lofts of this world. Know a mate who runs a sail loft who makes sails for 3 of the big name lofts all in the same factory. Send the latest designed sail across by email and they will make the sail at a much cheaper price.
