F16 / F18 Information day

Posted on by

Ever wanted to sail or get to know one of the most exciting catamarans in the world?

Well here is your chance.            Feb2016 158

Saturday 5th of March from 9am to Midday.

Come down to the club to see the F16 and F18 catamarans. Both an F16 and an F18 will be on display but the day will be focused on the F16. Association president, Mark Stichbury-Cooper will be here to show off his Viper F16 and answer any questions you may have. He will have information on new and second-hand F16.

For those of you who are serious about getting into a F16 or F18, today will be your day of discovery. Note this is not a general come and try day, a test sail will be made available either by making a booking on the day or if time permits, those who are seriously interest in getting into the class may be able to take the F16 or the F18 for a spin.
