Sam,
Why keep having a go at Wouter? While a lot of his information is often difficult to understand and sometimes wrong or based on 'suspect' parameters, his intentions are basically well meant.
You keep dredging up old, failed designs to make yourself appear "innovative".
You only hurt your class and make a fool of yourself.
Yes, on this occasion his trapeze system is not the best around, but 'a fool'? I think that's a bit strong....
Unlike many, Wouter is prepared to spend time and effort in assisting new sailors, encouraging existing ones and promoting the relatively new F16 class. By all means disagree with his views or calculations, even engage him in argument, but perhaps lay off the personal attacks?
Conciliatorily yours,
