Falcon F18 arrives to Europe
Gill de Bruyne has been racing and promoting the the Falcon F16 for years now, specially with the Belgian Youths. Now through his boat shop he will be offering the F18 version.
I sailed the Falcon F18 at LA, and although we hadn´t that much time on it we felt it was an incredible fast boat upwind in any condition with good volume a la Infusion for margin downwind in the breeze.

The German Falcon F18 , sailed by Joerg Gosche — German Champion F18 2012 — and Michael Walther — extreme 40 sailor, German Champion 2007/2008 (www.zeroemissions.eu) –, will be sailing Round Texel and later in the year the F18 worlds.

Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
