What has become quite obvious to me is that there is a need for a modern entry cat even for the adults. Many adults would like to sail the F12, but it’s a little bit to small if you are over 70 kg. The more or less max displacement of that boat is 120kg (the ready to sail platform weight just under 50 kg).
And I see we have come full circle on this aspect of the F12. It is not an issue to increase the bouyancy of the hulls to carry heavier adults on a F12. Sadly, some people (but not you Gato) were very vocal about making it a kiddies class and going for even more lightweight low volume hulls.
Now they have won and split a significant customer section off the F12 class, the group that actually holds the money !
I say lets revise the F12 concept to include these adults and let go of the "just for kids" mindset once and for all !
