Dear F16 Sailors,

I have sent a reply (quoted below) to a discussion titled "What a nice guy" a while back but thought of starting a new one since my concern is sort of different.

Can anyone help me start an F16 class in my country. I believe there is a great potential for this class here. Got some ideas on how to start it but would like to know if there are like minded guys here that would assist a very excited sailor from Asia like me.

Looking forward to hear from anyone, many thanks.

Cheers

Hi,

I am a very active sailor from the Philippines. But first off, I would like to congratulate the people behind the F16 concept. I think its wonderfull!

Beach Cat sailing in my country has been growing significantly over the past 5 years. Although our boats are predominantly Hobie 16s, I think there is a big market for the F16s here. Moreover, the F16 is, I am sure, a more suitable platform for the most popular offshore catamaran race here called Philippine Hobie Challenge.

Is there a way for me to get a hold of the Blade design? I would love to get in touch with Phil Brander. May I have his contact details please? If possible he can reach me at philsailingatb@yahoo.com

Looking forward to meet the "nice guy" of F16 class

Thanks and best regards to you all.
Edmund
