Gentlemen,

If the F12 Class Association is formally organized and this fine volunteer work converge to a one design class, I will buy plans to build at least one boat for my kids here and will also donate USD 500,00 to help with the class startup.

Afterwards, I will try to interest builders and start advertising/"marketing" the class in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay (and all Latin America, if possible) as:

1) A great double handed startup boat for a couple of kids (one F12 for two siblings is cheaper, safer and easier to rig than two Optimists);

2) The ideal singlehanded upgrade for kids bored with the Optimist;

3) Part of a worldwide youth effort to support multihulls and high performance sailing in general, in response to ISAF's controversial choice of Olympic equipment.

We should try to coordinate similar actions in all Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand, (South) Africa and (hopefully) Asia.

Keep it going,
