John Casey and John Williams have won the 2007 Hobie Alter Cup. The event was sailed on 10 brand new Blade F16s supplied by Vectorworks Sail. This year's event was hosted by Melbourne Yacht Club in Melbourne, Florida. The Alter Cup is the US Sailing Mulitihull Championship, and is sailed each year on a different boat. The event puts sailors on identical equipment, and teams swap boats between races. The Blades performed impressively throughout the event, allowing all team weights to do well. Results, reports and photos can be found on the US Sailing website.
Most of the competition boats have now been sold, providing a boost the fast-growing US F16 class. The boats sport new high aspect ratio daggerboards, designed by Catamaranparts.
