The tips look great, but to say the F16 can not do a LD race...

I have sailed my F16 in the Steeplechase Regatta twice, about 100mi, 50mi each day. (around Key Largo)

I sailed my F16 in the Hogs Breath Regatta once 100 miles (Islamorada to Key West)

I sailed my F16 in the Miami to Key Largo and back this year 80 miles. and beat the F18s (finished 3rd in h-class)

How many F16's did the 'Around the Island' race last year 100mi?

I repeat (second time) Provisions / camping gear would be put on the Cruising Fleet.
and their are alot of monouhulls out of Miami that could do this. Perhaps after the Miami to Key West Race.
