Is that still a 7m^2 sail? It looks too big compared to the pic's of Gato's (or is Gato's too small?). Maybe it's just my eyes!

yup...7m^2 and max luff length, foot is smaller than on boomed boats as the sheeting line goes from the circular traveller (fwd of rear beam) to the head to be able to maintain foot tension. That coupled with a slightly bigger head makes it look bigger than it is.

for anyone interested, just found this on Trademe
Vudu - F12

Interesting..I read the whole thread .

Great article!

looking forward to seeing fleets of these

If you could get a roto molded hulled boat at minimum weight to set up large fleets would they a peel to every one or just training academy's. is this good for the class as a whole, what do you people think?

Inexpensive boats at low cost will appeal to many sailors. IMHO More F12s is good news for the class, regardless the brand or make.
