Problem is for us sailors is that having 2 F16's in Europe, one in South Florida, and one in Birmingham doesn't do much if you want to get together and race. Then there are the A-boats which further split the fleet.
You are not paying much attention to world affairs are you now ?
Last weekend, simultaniously, we saw 12 F16's at Nations cup in UK and 5 F16's at the US JPOR Harken bouy race event.
Right now, this weekend, over in Australia we are having the "Victoria state F16 Challenge".
In two weeks Time, we're back in the US again for the Daytona summer sizzler, also part of the Harken Bouy race series. We are looking to make class there again as we did at Tradewinds and JPOR; thus making 3 in a row, something the other classes (F18, Nacra 20, A's, Nacra 17) except H16 couldn't do.
Then the weekend after that, back to the UK again for the East Coast Pierce race. Later followed by the second F16 UK race series event in Eastbourne.
Hell, I forgot the Singapore race calender, maybe there is something overthere in these weeks as well.
This is not a N17 vs F16 battle !
That would imply the other side is actually putting up a fight. We are cleaning up !
I sure do hope that at the next Florida Harken bouy race event (Daytona) the overwhelming numbers of participating A's and Nacra 17's make some room for those lonely F16 sailors that have already preregistered.
You are coming to that event right and bringing all your friends so you make class ?

(P.S. otherwise come anyway and share a start with the F16's I'm sure they'll welcome you. The more more souls on the start-line the greater the fun. ) You'll have to race first in wins though.
