Guys,

It seems the voting for our basic set of class rule values is going very well.

Basically, we have no votes against the following values :

max length = 3.80 mtr
max width = 2.00 mtr
max sail area = 7.00 mtr.
min ready to sail weight = 60 kg plus a review of this value at a later time and after gaining more practical experience.

I think we must thank Scarecrow for giving the class rules discussion another try at exactly the right time. Well done mate. It looks likes this time we are going to reach a consensus.

This setup is already a pretty good box rule. Anybody want to add another limit to the rules. I'm thinking about introducing a max mast height to close the box off in the vertical sense. This will make all F12 very close in general appearence and general performance. Also avoid extremely high aspect sails that are difficult to trim, not something we want in a trainer class for impatient youths and teenagers.

Scarecrow, maybe you can make a last ballot on mast length. I proper 6 mtr because that is a nice round number (+ comparable to the Laser dinghy) and appears to sit right in comparison with the other specs.
