Team VMG,

The F12 I was proposing in the end was alot more strickly controlled then say for example the A-cats or the F12 designs developped so far (which are basically smaller versions of A-cats with carbon masts etc)

Let me clarify. The F12 concept I strongly favor has much more in common with a OD class (but NOT a SMOD class). It does not rule on the crossectional shape of for example the beams or how the rudderstocks are fabricated or what diameter bolts are used to fasten stuff to the boat. But it does on the important parts with respect to performance.

Compare this F12 concept as very much like the Tornado class is now but with only one sail (the mainsail). It is also such a simplified design that there is very little to modify anyway like a laser dinghy.
