>>If I was to source my masts from some one like Boyer or Goodall then I could possibly buy in smaller numbers, but (no disrespect to them) that would put me at the discression of their "goodwill", which is a position that no manufacturer likes to be in from another "competitor".


The AHPC Superwing mastsection is featuring on the Taipan 4.9, US Blade F16 and EU Blade F16.

Two years ago we worked out a deal with AHPC to is mutually beneficial and we have found AHPC to be fully accomodating in everything.


>>after we have launched the F14 of ours onto the market towards the end of this winter here in Australia, we will then work full time on putting the F16 on the water in it's final configuration, so that, hopefully it will be "out" before the end of our next summer.

That will be very cool !

>>At this stage, it looks very promising that, although the F16 will be "ALL" carbon fibre, it is shaping up to be no more than the price of an F16 Taipan and probably less.

THAT will even be more cool. I will say, let this quide you on how you vote on the proposals. I will do the same.
