AS the "practical" interest in the F14 (lots of interest in the concept but very few "on the water" F14 cats) did not seem to "happen", it was voted on some two years ago to make the only restriction on the class the length IE an F14 is any "multi hull" sailing vessel that does not exceed 14' in hull length. Everything else is open. This makes the F14 a fully development class that, if multi hulls are built within that one measurement restriction, eventually the practical design limitations will soon be self regulating.
Could you point me to the F14 Class site.
I often think that the demise of the 18sq fleet in the US was the fact that the prototype boats would pull a horizon job on the production boats. I would think that for F14s a min-weight and max-area sail would be a good idea.
