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.
I didn't say "cannot" I said "not suitable".
I was thinking about you when I made that post and I think we actually agree. If you load the boat down with the gear for two for several days, you'd be in the cruising fleet.
Robi did Miami to Key Largo at least once, and there is Hagar's which always has a number of F16s.
Still, I wouldn't load the boat with gear to last two guys, unsupported, for several days.
