Hi Kirt,
It really is a crying shame that we cannot get a class of F16s going here in the U.S. . . . ,a class that is growing, shows up for events, and has good exposure. We really need to do something like the F18 Class and get folks out sailing. . . .As it is, my poor 4.9 just sits there gathering dust and mildew.

Well Rick If you could just talk Mary out of the car for the evening, you could come to the Tommy Whiteside Regatta and Duke it out with the Blade and another Taipan. We decided last night with the permission of the F-18 class we would start F-18's and F-16's together, Scored separately since this is part of
www.powergroovesailing.com 's F-18 Carolina's Cup Series event.
BUT, the F-18's and F-16's can race the same course, in the same time, and there will be evidence of how well the heads up comparison of the Two classes perform against each other. Would be nice if we could get Matt McDonald up here too. I think Dave Powergroove is gonna ask him. We've had all this discussion of the Comparison, it's time to see it in action. You also can do a bit on the comparison at Catsailor, it's time to show up and promote the F-16 boats, cause we don't want this class to be a bunch of backyard trailer cats or lawn ornaments just sitting around "collecting dust and growing mildew".
Any of the rest of you want in?, or you gonna get out your dustrags for the season?
