Now I'm convinced that one of the F16 builders is making great inroads as a potential olympic class as the representatives of some well know cat-builder are doing their very best to diss this particular class in public at every chance they get !

Not long before we'll start to see claims that the F16's are best sailed by an all-child team below 12 years of age (where foiling boats and F17's are not ?). Or how these are overpriced carbon wonders (where the F20C/F17 are not ?). Not to mentioned the usual canard that the F16's has no international fleets of large numbers like the F18 (where the F20c/F17 have ?)

What a joke !

Some people apparently have a huge blind spot and are totally biased as a result.

If that is the way some particular SMOD (prototype) design must be advanced in the greater scheme of things then I really don't fancy its chances.

Personally I think the F20C is unlikely to be selected because it ticks none of these boxes and is as of yet still an unkown rarity with a relatively large potential for teething problems like the wild bull ride that Macca himself displayed in his video.

When faced with a choice between the T and the F20C I favour the chances of the first by 100 to 1
