I would be willing to go to 3.8 mtr as well, next to the other advantages that would also give the F12 design the same waterline length as the laser 1 dinghy when it is already sharing the same size rig with it. I think we can spin this into a darn right promo value for the F12's. Think of it this way : same waterline length (which most people equate to max boat speed), same engine and the cat winds handily on max speed and on speed around the course. That will put the mono's in a position where disgarding the cat by a slight of hand is alot more difficult.

Besides, I prefer to have all class rule related numbers with only a single decimal. Hull length is the only one with two decimals at this time.

3.8 mtr = 12.46 feet and that is rounded off downwards to 12 feet which keeps the class name "legal"
