Gato,

What was the ready to sail weight of your DS hull and was it made entirely of out 4 mm ply ?

Such data would really help in discussion the possible minimum weight ruling for F12.

With respect to rotomolded production. Indeed this will not start the class, but it will be a huge benefit in growing it at a later time. Even, our competition, the dinghies are increasingly going for rotomoulded production and we must not let them get an advantage over us. Same with Kayaks, We have got to set ourselves up to compete effectively with these.

Again, I'm not very concerned about the roto stuff being a little heavier then the optimized F12, but not by alot. I think a 60 kg = min with roto at 70 kg could be a very attractive setup.
