Some Aussie will claim for the 10th time that the mossies are below 50 kg and ask why the smaller F12's will be heavier. When explained he will totally ignore the given explanation that platform weight is NOT the same as ready to sail weight and bitch that he still wants the craft to be lighter then a given weight that has no further association with what is really proposed. If I want to waste my time then I'll go and play some computer game and feel good afterwards for beating the computer !


Now what I can offer you all is a balanced ruleset that revolves around the following concepts :

Equalize drag and equalized drive through abstract rules that do not limit designers freedom in a severe way. No rules on details or materials. There will be a rule that limits the F12 to using only ONE sail in the rig without specifying its shape other then setting a max luff length and mast mast length (sail hoist height).

Balance the ruleset such that the same craft can be succesfully used by the older kids, teenagers and light to medium parents (1-up) and will be light and inexpensive.

It will not be a A-cat like open ruleset of only 4 rules, that will in my opinion only lead to a mini A-cat class that will be less performant but still cost almost the same. There is no market demand for such a class as the F14 project has shown. I will not provide such a class ruleset when asked, somebody else can burn his fingers on that, but I won't.


I too sick and tired of all the BS, bitching and other monkey behaviour to consider giving this class more then a single chance and this is it.

If you guys can find a concensus on the above principles and still want my help then I can present a good F12 rulebase within 24 hours. If not then please don't ever contact me again regarding your F12 class.

I will not came back reading these posts and you can all work it out yourselves. If you guys still want to make use of what I can offer then mail me at wouterhijink(AT)hotmail.com and I will deliver.

It is a selfprotection thing.
