Without building a strong organisation around the F12 there will be no F12 class... For it to succeed... I need to be able to control the creation of the class, its growth and the money flow... THIS IS ALL FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CLASS WE ARE CREATING.

F12 was always intended to be more then just what a private persons wants for his personal situation. It is intended to become the international youth class for catamaran sailing... and a feeder class to the currently existing international cat classes... are you going to help me make this a success or not?


Yes, of course. Again, life is not a binary yes or no: some will help a lot, some will help less, some may go overboard and some may involuntarily work in the wrong direction. Besides the shades of grey, expect to see "whiter" and "blacker" situations <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

As far as I know, you are the only person ever who successfully created a class through an Internet discussion group. Please do it once again. I am sure everyone understands the difficulty to do it in a foreign language, being at the same time precise, polite, subtle, etc.

In order to avoid repetitive suggestions from those who want to help, but are unaware of the current project status (it happened to me more than once), the proper reply is "we passed this point already" followed by the project's program/milestones. Do we have one? If not, I'll try to prepare the first draft.

All the best,
