Adding the smaller sailplan has worked out great for the Laser class, adding the Radial and 4.7 option sails, that is. Nobody on the "Adult" version is put off by the addition of a slightly smaller sailplan, in fact, it made the boat more attractive to Mom's and Dad's as they could just buy a smaller set of sails for Junior to race with, then Mom and Dad could use the same boat for their racing.

Robie, good on you! Lots of people talk about "growing the sport" but few put in the massive effort to get kids on board, as you and Barb Short have. Thanks for that!
