Thanks Bob

This looks great ,-it seems to be met with great positive enthusiasm already ,--really nice to see .

I,m already out cutting off 9 inches of the stern on the 15 as I type this ,-- to comply with the 14,3 max length .

A question ,-the Mystere 4,3 and think some other 14s have spinakkers and snuffers , and thought headsails of any type INC{HOOTER TYPE} would be part of the F-14 class.

Could not find it in the proposed rules outline,

The one area you,ll get the most controversy in is weight,--
crew weight and boat weight .
Smaller youth sailors can double up to meet the 150 Lb min , but should they have to ?.Also the average female weighs 120 ,--some less ,--for safety reasons should they be required to carry an extra 40 Lbs .-
Maybe exceptions per age --gender could be considered or the min crew weight eliminated and just state that all be able to right the boat and be able to demonstrate that if in question by RC . The idea being to encourage as many different sailors as possible .

The min boat weight seems fine , but the F-14 class will consist of all types of platforms with boat weight all over the board . Sails gear etc are easy to change , the one thing that can not be easily modified is boat weight as built.
One suggestion for heavier boats to compensate is allowing a larger jib or sail area per boat weight to equalize there speed potential .

Hopefully helpfull constructive suggestions for consideration .

Looking forward to seeing this F-14 class in action soon and getting my boys interested as well.
