What's to elaborate? Some people want a low-performance, fun boat for their kids to introduce them to catamarans. Other people want a high-performance boat that will beat the socks off all the "competition."

Formula 12 and Formula 12X seems like the answer. It's sort of like trying to figure out what kind of pogo stick to get when you have various ages and weights of kids involved. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
