Was just surfing the BIM web page and there was a quick "banner" about the "Javelin 16"- But NO other info or pics, etc. (at least not that I could tell- But my Italian is pretty poor!!)-

Sounds like another new F 16HP???

There is a projekt in Switzerland at Morge (near the place were the ventilos are made), for youth sailors.

One wonders if these two groups have been informed of the F16 (F16HP) project?

Perhaps our leader(s) would do so?

Thanks mr.Lutz, when you see them in private can you make them aware of us. Their rule set only differs from us in very small parts and it wouldn't help us both when we start competing directly.

My Frence is so so but I understand that they are just embarking on the project. If so then the F16HP class can help them with (homebuild) designs and other stuff.

Thanks

I do know some stuff but I'm waiting for official confirmation of Bimare. In short, a few months back Valerio Pertrucci expressed their views on what they might do in the future. I think it is wise however to let him publicize anything definate before anyone else does.

On a side note : I also see the new 2003 Javelin 16 banner on the Bimare Website at www.bimarecatamarani.com and I would love this to be true. Think of it a Javelin 16, that must be a wavepiercer design !!!!!

Yahoo ooo!!!

Steward,

Bimare Yard is VERY aware of the Formula 16 HP class. Personally I have never encountered iF16 before and it looks like something very new.

It is alsoi nearly impossible to miss F16HP as most search engine and Google.com for sure even list us when somebody uses search strings just containing FX-one and I-17. When looking for formula 16 cat or something you can't miss us at all.
