One little thing about that design above, I know little kids will ram those things into each other and the dock, etc. so how about making the bows plumb top to bottom instead of pointy at the waterline? That would spread out the impact stress and hopefully NOT cause holes in the hull of what ever they hit, and protect the bows of the hitter as well.

Also, I asked them (CLC) about doing a wooden Blade F16 kit but he said it would be too hard to it as tourtured ply (for most beginners) and it would also be quite a big job to convert tourtured ply plans to the stitch and glue plans, since that method does not lend itself to a nice round hull bottom. However, he did not rule out any stitch and glue type hulls. We would probably want to specify the mast/sail set up to keep it as a one-design type boat. BTW, this is exactly how the Opti started. The "Optimist", a charity group from the Tampa area, had a contest to design a small sailboat out of a single sheet of 4x8 plywood. Perhaps the F12 could be the "New Opti"?

Maybe out of 3 sheets of 4x8 ply?
