A trend toward smaller boats and singlehanders?

In reply to Karl,

Same experience here; at the time I was 85 kg, back then in 2001 and 2002. Did about 50-100 hours on that boat in different conditions.

I righted it once singlehandedly without aids in 20 knots wind other times the

rescue boat

at hand had to lift the mast tip up and give it a swing.

Interestingly enough the F16 class got a boost in founding activities during and right after the last week of may 2001 when I was in Greece at this sailing resort. Typed up the first

more serious

mail in a Greek internet cafe with a Greek keyboard. That was an experience in itself.
