Just to be clear on this topic. I can only concentrate on one project of this magnitude at the time. I have a plan of how to link this design up with other classes of which the smallest boats are still the H16's, SL16's and F16's. The Dragoon is too small a class to really matter at this time. There is no F14 yet nor I expect it to be here any time soon if ever.

These limits do force me into the direction that the F12 is going now. It is as simple as that.

This doesn't mean in any way however that I will oppose or frustrate any other group designing a cat for kids in the range 7-12. I'm just saying that I won't be part of that and that I won't modify my F12 to suit that range optimally. My targetted range is 12-16 year old youths or crew weights in the range 40 -65 kg. Basically a cat based replacement for the laser 4.7 and laser radial. For people that want to know, I'm 90 kg myself.
