Daryl is experiencing exactly the same indignation with his AO 14, and to add insult to injury, there's now talk of designing and building yet another entry level cat for Australia.
Hey, you got it wrong with the F14 concept, hence you failed. You misread the market, thinking that a great design would pull through on its own merits and now you know that that is only halve the picture.
The other project is totally different, although some volunteers in that project are determined to copy the F14 "success". If indeed that project follows the same path then I'm convinced we'll fail as well there.

Wouter I think your trying to get 7yr to 14 yr old kids on an international race circuit like F14. What were trying to do is bring kids through the ranks on cats, any cat will do then as they get more skillfull shape them into F14 etc. Your the one that wants to get 7yr olds on 7m square sails with collabsible masts and keep them on the same sail rig untill they get a bigger boat at age 15. regards
