Hi Gill,

As John says, probably time for a trip to the Netherlands.  There are distributors for both the Stealth F16 and the Blade F16 there (check out the links on http://www.formula16.org/component/option,com_weblinks/catid ,13/Itemid,23/lang,en/)

For some results...  Stealths 2nd, 4th and 8th on the Colne Point long distance race last weekend: http://www.marconi-sc.org.uk/661D9/East_Coast_Piers_Race/ECP R_2006_Results/Colne_Point_Results_2006.aspx

You should note that those Stealths were 1-up, sailing off a handicap of 0.98 against the Shadow's 1.07.  It's a fast boat :-)

The full East Coast Piers Race was won by a Stealth sailed 2-up a few years back.

Also, have a look at the results from the recent Nations Cup: http://www.mumblesyachtclub.co.uk/results/2006/200606_f16.ht m.  You'll see some very close racing between two F16 designs there.

Gilo,

It might be worth taking a trip to Zandvoort to see several F16s that are based there. They have Taipan 4.9, Stealth and Blade F16s.

Also, go to www.formula16.org which is the official class website. This has a brief description of each of the F16 designs currently available and contact details for the builders.

The Spitfire is a really sweet boat, but primarily it's a one design class that happens to be close to fitting the F16 formula. As a result it has been offered 'grandfather' status within the class. This means that a Spitfire can race with the F16s although it is not a true F16 (it is heavier, has too large a sail area etc.). There will eventually come a time when it will be inelegible for F16 racing.

Are you thinking of buying a new or used boat? Bear in mind that there aren't very many used boats around at present, but I believe there is a Stealth F16 in Holland that is for sale.

Hi,

Me and my girlfriend want to buy a F16 cat. (We weigh +/- 130 kg).
I'm from Belgium and I've seen already a Swell Spitfire, which have some nice race-results.

An Stealth F16 looks very fast too, with some new concepts, but I can't find race-results. Does anyone have an idea whick F16 to take ?

Regards,

 

Gill
