You will see that these are in alphabetical order, unlike Tornado 699's. C'mon 699 are you a bit bias? are you stiring things a bit?

The only way to make sure you've bought the best is to buy one of each

The best F18 is a sold one, so go buy a Nacra 20.

Yes I may sail a Tornado, but I didn't think this was a loaded guestion. I would love to move into the F18 fleet
and just wanted some comments.
I guess some people did like my question.
And what kind of answer is alphabetical order Teamvmg?

Isn't it the same as asking, "Who is the best F18 sailor?"

seems like the S hasn't hit the fan as many expected. I think the sailors using this forum know that it is the sailor in the class, not the boat.
HOWEVER, I am not going to give up my right to blame my crew for not being as fast as the other boats in my class

I will go ahead and answer this one, and you will all agree, the BEST F18 is the one you are sitting on at the starting line! The one you just bought and brought out to play! Don't sweat it, just get a boat and get out and race it. The results are all over the map, which means they are all pretty equal, as it should be, the better sailors are winning, regardless of manufacturer. It's not the boat.

yes, what would an F18 on crack look like... probably doesn't have any teeth and all the expensive parts have been sold off and you are using hemp rope for line

did a google search on Groupama3.. sketchy 105 feet!!!!

Good grief, I go to sleep for 8 hours and nothing has happened. here goes.

F18 is racing class so the best one is the fastest. The Tiger won the worlds so must be the best. AT THE TIME...

F18 is also a developement class and things move on. If you buy anything other than new, you are not getting the best.

If you buy a newly developed boat that has not raced, you have to trust the designers and manufacturer.

There i said something that was not meant to be facetious
