The whole point of me starting this thread was to see if people were interested in an F12 design that could accommodate a larger age range by having different rigs like the BIC dinghy does. I thought that people were interested in this. I am not trying to drive the F12 to be a kids boat only I just would rather it accommodate everyone.
All seems to indicate that the same platform serves for a wide age range.
If one wants to use the same F12 for 12- and 12+ kids, two scenarios are possible:
- F12 designed for 12+: buy a smaller sail for 12- kids or have them sail two up.
- F12 designed for 12-: buy a bigger sail for the 12+ kids.
(boats for smaller kids have wider safety margins, so the extra loads shouldn't be a problem).
I guess we will be happy anyway, so age is not a big issue for me.
