New F16 project: AquaRaptor
I received today a mail from Federico Farina with a render and some info regarding this new F16.

“A new catamaran AQUARAPTOR F16 is on the market. AQUARAPTOR F16 has been created to be aggressively competitive in the F16 BOX RULES. AQUARAPTOR F16 has been designed and constructed by an experienced catamaran builder and racer Ing. Hans Klock, very well known in all over the world as sailor and shipbuilder. The modern design of the classic lined AQUARAPTOR F16, constructed with carbon parts, developed an innovative and aggressive volume distribution to make up for the feet loss. This has made it possible to have a heavier crew and it is easier to go downwind, even in strong wind.”
I just heard that my great sailing friend and former CEO of Hobiecat Europe has passed. May The endless oceans…
...Report was sent by an F18 Sailor, if you want Hobies reported send your own, we'll publish as usual. Cheers.
Looks like in your report the Hobies are not really present. Suggest to rewrite the article.
Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
