[quote=samc99us]http://www.cathouse1.com/f17na.htm is the page you are referring to. It's all a pipe dream. Don't get me wrong, I am sure Kurt and Mark are great dealers, but this is pretty much a joke. Equal racing on a F17 vs. N17 with main sail only isn't going to happen. For starters, the only people sailing N17's are running Olympic campaigns, and these guys are really fast. As in you won't see them fast. Do you expect to compete with sailors who spend 3+ weeks each month in a training camp with full coaching and practice races against the best multihull sailors in North America? Lets not even delve into the 10 year technology gap between the two boats, or the fact that the N17 sail plan is not designed to run uni-rig.
Bacho's numbers are pretty accurate. Enough cannot be said about buying a boat from an experienced racer, or at the least someone who used their boat regularly and properly maintained it. Dealers stay in business because of parts support.
Good luck,
