Sam Evans was one person, and yes Wouter has probably annoyed everyone on the forum at some time. BUT, Wouter has spent many hours helping regular members and newcomers to the forum over the years.

See the heading of this thread: F12 design and development

Does anyone remember the Dart 12 ? Laser brought it out 15? or more years ago. They demonstrated it at Dart 18 events and toured the UK with it trying to encourage junior sailors. I'm not sure why it didn't work - it may have been too expensive. I wondered if 12 ft was long enough, if it had enough buoyancy, but I think that the modern design of John Alani's and Wouter's hull has a lot more buoyancy than the old slim hulls of the Dart 12. My kids, at 29 and 27, are way past this cat, but I would love to see a Formula that sailors (fathers) around the world could build to (or buy) and so, start their kids Cat Sailing.
If we all stay cool, it can be done.
