User Comment:
F-1 vs F-2 The F-2 has softer chines in the bow than the F-1. The development of this series went F-1, Stealth, F-2, but the starting point for the F-2 was the F-1 not the Stealth. Most F-1's that are still around today are getting pretty long in the tooth. Davey & Jon developed the F-1 for '89 worlds. I like the F-2 better that the F-1 as the bow releases easier during upstream gates. The last version of the F-2 actually was being molded with more volume in the bow. This was a mold modification you could request on early F-2's that Andy (Dagger)was making, but I think it became almost common practice on the later boats. I'm not sure Dagger is making anymore F-2's. Upstream Edge probably still has a mold. I would guess Gary's mold is the very last version Davey tweaked which included more volume in the bow etc. The Fanatic and the Maverick were some of the last boats to be paddled from the stern.
