[quote=P.M.][quote=parsley][quote=P.M.]We had several of these boats racing at Spring Fever back in the day, and a few other regattas around the southeast. The boat was an "out of the box" spinnaker rig and board less, which was a nice package back in the day when spin boats were rare.
The F16 class was just starting to develop, and this boat preceded F16. I'm guessing it met the formula box rule and hence was labeled "F16".[/quote]
Thank you very much for reply!
In your opinion is it a good boat? Do you remember how it sailt? The boat costs 3000 USD. Sails and hulls are in good conditions. Spinnaker looks like new. There is a spare tramp. I'm not going on to start in races. I have 4 kids but from time to time i will sail onehanded.

Is it a good boat? Ask 10 different folks here and you will likely get 10 different opinions. Here is my two cents . . . define what you want your boat to do. If you want to recreational sail, with one or two of the kids, this will be a fun boat. Likewise, it is easy to sail one up. The kids will love flying the spin, and no daggers are a plus. The wings are rare and nice and will add to the family experience.
On the other hand, don't expect to take out all 4 kids and expect much performance. The folks who owned them like them for their simplicity, it is kids friendly, the fact that it was rigged for a spin, etc.
Should make a nice starter boat, and if you love for cats grow, as well as the kids, upgrade to the next level and sell this one.[/quote]
