Marie said it right.

<br>1 pound is 0,45 kg's
<br>1 foot is 0,305 mtr.

<br>Looks like you did the conversion correctly.
<br>
<br>With respect to the wave versus Dragoon, I would say that they seem close enough to be almost like a youth formula class. However I would prefer the dragoon because of it's maintraveller, boom option and lighter weight. That is from a performance point of view. I also think that the dragoon has adjustable jib travellers. Practicallity will favour other aspects that put the wave back in front.
<br>
<br>I agree with you that, especially in light air, the top of the headsail needs to be as high as possible and as far away from the mast and other sail as possible.
<br>
<br>On the other hand, I haven't sailed the dragoon with the hooter and furling type of sail that is show in the pictures. I sailed it with a true trampoline launched Genaker (Asymmetric spinnaker with the 75 % girth rule). This sail is alot bigger than the hooter shown
<br>in the picture. Therefor I can't not comment on this aspect any further.
<br>
<br>Well, once kids start out sailing lasers they will want to continue sailing on these youth cats.
<br>
<br>They also found that adults favoured the Dragoons when they started solo sailing to build up confidence. Instead of the Hibie 14 and larger boats like FX-one,
