One design...Bimare please make it a one design class, go for the youth market and leave the F14 concept intact, wide open for development. Don't push the F14 into a single purpose class. I for one do not see the F14 as a "youth only feeder class". That is fine if that is what you want to develop but leave the F14 class rules (there are no rules besides it not exceeding 4.3M) alone so those adults who want to develop a 14 footer can do as they please.
For some reason no one gets the idea of making a larger volume 14' platform that can support an adult or one or two teenagers. It has been said over and over again...make the platform more buoyant and use the rig to tune it up or down. The economy is in the crapper...very few parents are able to afford a single purpose "toy". Make it so a wider range of people can use it and you have a larger pool of people to sell to. Wish you success as you move ahead with your concept.
