Grob,
Well, the last I heared about your own project was this spring I believe. I'd assumed the project had stalled a nothing new was presented to the world since then. Even back then the project wasn't very far advanced, I can only remember 2 CAD drawings of it, no specs or detailed components.
Which two projects do you count as active? I know of Phil and RG, whats happened to yours?
Unbelievable, don't you guys read anything ?
I'm currently the only one to have produced a design will full detailed listing of the weights and costs of each component. The specs of my design have been fixed and I'm currently the only one with a fully worked out mast design. I'm also the only one who has tested several components for the F12 in real life. Granted, most of it was on a landyacht but mast loadings are mast loadings whether the mast is stepped on a sail boat or landyacht. Add to that things like detailed performance comparisons to the Laser dinghy and I think I got a pretty decent lead on all of the others.
I'm very thankful for your contributions to the F12 project, but you of all people should know what happened to my design, it continued when all others discontinued it. I got the private e-mails to you to proof it.
Wouter
