RG, For your boat to work for me, optimize it for a 75kg crew! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I want one to sail myself! Oops, this is the Kid's F12 thread.

The field is narrowed to a few committed to build. Like you and Bob and Jeff have stated, why worry now? If Jeff's and his boy's are happy they can start building.

I propose the question may be not does this work for most people, but is it within the parameters of the Formula 12 and are those parameters fully defined or agreed upon? If not, this design may end up a one design. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />


except for the luff length its within whats listed here as the parameters. To push the hulls out to 75kg is no big deal, but it won't fit the majority of the kids then, if you want a larger displacement version, I'll just customize it for you but it probably won't make Wouter happy <grin>.

As far as I'm concerned its already a success because my wife who is "NOT" a sailor wants one <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> see attached pics, she's already picked the colors to paint it <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />....not my choice but hell, its her boat. I'm sure Aerynt and his boys will build 2 starting in the next few weeks and a couple of local clubs just approached me about a joint build of 16-18 of them.

So long as the rules don't get changed I don't see much to stop anyone starting.
