Regarding my "wish list" for rules mods to the F16 - rebuttal points well taken (particularly this notion of practice as a means to improve speed !).
I expect the F16 solo sailors will soon be deriving benefit from the experimentation being done by the SCYC Acats.Rumor has it the rig/ sails will soon see pretty radical changes (?).Example: my Glaser sail is pretty nearly the same as an Acat main in terms of draft and is really fast from about 6kts. of wind and greater.The sail seems to suffers a bit in really light air. I noticed this design(attached),allows for more power in the equally flat Acat when wind velocities drop off (just let off diamond tension). I also really like the rotator bar being closer to the tramp as its hard to reproduce rotation settings with a bar just below the boom.
