Hey there,

Whoa....... Russell mate! It is not too hard just the mossie is a class that has parameters, which is what the other sailors are saying. This is the same in some way for all boat classes.

I think Tim's suggestion of going F16 or Taipan if you want 'modern' or to 'develop' is very wise advice.

If you want a mossie then build a mossie.

The mossie is a very efficient design and set up as it is, it consistently performs against other classes on yardstick, why mess with what has stood the test of time.

Matt's comments about our class are apt - if the boats change then it makes it difficult to race against each other.

Decide on a class and work within the parameters of that class.

Surely it is all about the enjoyment of sailing in the end, see you on the water.

Cheers,
