I seem to remember some guys working on a design that would be alike the named F12, with a unstayed rig as used on landyachts and laser-1. I still think that setup to be a great cheap laser-alike version for the cats but far better looking.

I hope its development will get continued at some time.





The low aspect daggerboard shown is actually a pivoting centreboard. And the downhaul and mainsheet are combined into one single control as shown under a free hanging boom, no gooseneck. No further cleats or blocks, no trapeze just hiking. And a very simple but top secret traveller system using two blocks and a high tension line (but no cleats). As said this must be a dirt cheap catamaran. Effective, fast but dirt cheap.

And lots of fun.
