The first F16 UK titles racing will take place at Pendine Sands in West Wales August 26th - August 29th or contact John Pierce direct on stealthmarATaol.com or johnpierceATstealthmarine.co.uk Should be a really good event with a proposed 9 races over 3 days. It's going to be good to at last get a group of F16's together so that we can compare notes, technique and gear (and also find out who's hot and who's not) Edited by Jalani |

Spitfires are 'grandfathered' into the Formula 16 class, so I guess the answer is 'Yes'. Best to check with the organiser, John Pierce, though....

I could also sail my Inter 17 as well as this is another grandfathered class (but only singlehanded) - Well in theory anyway !

My cat club held the first F-16 National Championships a few years back in 2 on Trap spinnaker Taipans. Had a good fleet but never took off and faided away.
Hope you guys have a little more success..... |

Hi Stephen,
F16 may not have taken off at your club, but we haven't faded away. F16 states have been held in Vic. the last two years and I know of six new boats being built around OZ. Never mind all the Taipan 4.9's that can join in anytime and do occasionaly. In fact F16 in Australia is intending to hold Nationals at the Forster Widcat regatta this year. F16 may not be as numerous as F18 which I know you are about to get into, but we are growing, partcularly now some optimised F16's are hitting the water. Watch out for us on that Capricorn this season. Regards Gary. |

Hi Gary, Good to here and glad to see the some guys in Vic are pushing ahead with it. I crewed on one to the Taipan F-16s @ the Nats and loved it. Its a shame that some of the Taipan guys who were into the F16 concept have moved away from the class. Taipan would make a perfect platform. Are there many Mossie's (F16 or standard) around for sale and what are the $$$$$. How many F16s did you get + results. Are there many running 2 up...... |

Hi Stephen,
most F16 sailing two up in OZ are still Taipan 4.9's, you are right they are a great boat for it. The first Mossies in Vic.to sail F16 where one up, so there are more of them but two ups are growing in numbers, but are not suited to big crews. Price and availability wise best to check website.http://home.vicnet.net.au/~mosquito/ Short report on states at F16 Forum.www.catsailor.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Bo ard=Fleet45&Number=49563&page=5&view=collapsed&a mp;sb=5&o=&fpart=1 Regards Gary. |
