Berny...Wouter is right about the length issue...he took quite a beating on the forum over wanting the boat to be 3.8 to 3.9m.even when showing that a measurable improvement in performance could be had without any added expense, and a no noticeable increase in weight. Personally I still think it was/is a mistake not to go with Wouter's sugestion on the 3.8 to 3.9m length, but that issue has been argued ad nauseam. Re-ignite that fire at your own risk….

I'll bite on that one. I agreeded with Wouter on the length and I, for one, was disappointed to see the performance depleted to have the boat cover a broader age range. Blade 12 and Phill have the lower age range covered and has stated it (Blade 12) is OD.
I vote to open that length discussion again. Obvious a least a few people involved here haven't gone back to read every post of the last year or so, and from BEFORE there was an F12 forum.
