Visibility is essential for popularity and an important project goal under "marketing", but not a relevant goal for the cat's design, in which we are working now. Being naturally small, a kid's cat can sail in places where bigger boats can't, closer to shore or in smaller bodies of water.

One of the many reasons why we are working on the F12 project is that kids on cats will necessarily be very visible, adding to the popularity and acceptance of the sport, increasing the number of sailors and all that follows.

In my opinion the F12 is the best long term initiative to cope with the problems multihull sailing has been facing lately.
