So, pocket luff ok on unstayed rigs.
Shall we have traps from the start or later, I have the feeling they will come soner or later anyway.

I have no problem with traps for the older kids or for the crew in 2-up mode. Although it practically rules out unstayed masts.

The traps will not make this cat any faster . It can be sailed in almost all conditions without them even by a child of 35kg with the 7m2 sail.

I agree with Luiz. We can always make a F12HP for the older kids (dads) later.

I agree.

LOL....already designed mine, will post some pics later
cheers

It would maybe be good to keep those pics as a teaser and only show them when we have finished the draft for the rules...

I was going to keep my trap shut until I actually got mine at least to the hull built stage. But I'm with RG and some others on this.

One of the main attractions to this class is that it has to be heaps of fun. In my own opinion, to exclude the traps, would be taking away a fair chunk of fun.

I realise its been said that they could possibly be added later, but do you really want to stuff around with it later? If your design includes them, have them, if it doesn't, don't. Banning them or restricting them at this stage, when designers or builders have already committed to their design, I think its too late for such a rule.

The ship has sailed, so to speak.
