Mary,

I would like further explanation on why you feel this way.

Wouter has pretty much said here are the choices based on the underlying mathematics are:

1. a 12 foot boat with a less then desirable sail area, making it a low performance boat, like the ones already available to purchase.
2. a 12 foot boat with the propensity to pitch pole
3. a 12’10” that with neither of the two problems.

If he is not making a mistake, I don’t see any wiggle room.

I race a C&C 37R. Guess how long it is. Yep, 40 feet. =)

I agree with the rest of what you said.
