Matt,

I know the original intent was to build a class of boats 12 feet long for kids. However, it seems that there are some benefits in making it slightly larger which seems to make sense.

The only downside to making it slightly longer is definitional (Is it an F12 or F13?). If a strict definition were used in naming the class, what are the stakes or issues in calling the class an F12 or an F13?

Thanks!
Bill
