I don't recall anyone saying you can't have fun on a mono, but i might be wrong. I agree a new thread should be started 'F12 design and development'. Then we can avoid the arguement of monos v cats and juniors.
I've tried to keep my points as to the design, but failed miserably and started bringing the other aspects of which we shouldn't concerned about, e.g enticing the kids of monos to cats, instead of the real issue raised of getting kids to sail, for that I apologise.
