Then it sounds like maybe you agree with Wouter (<img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />) that 7m^2 may be too big for the young kids. In your thinking, if there is an intention to accommodate that wider age range on the F12 platform, would it be appropriate to actually introduce a second, "junior" sail area specification into the class rules for the younger kids in addition to the 7 m^2 limit - along the lines of what Luiz was suggesting?
