As mentioned the camber inducers sometimes need some help in light winds but its no big deal.

A normal fully battened catamaran sail has the same issues in light winds so I don't really see that as problematic.

I seem to remember some guys working on a design that would be alike the named F12, with a unstayed rig as used on landyachts and laser-1. I still think that setup to be a great cheap laser-alike version for the cats but far better looking. I hope its development will get continued at some time.

So is the picture from the

some guys

? That's the way I originally took it.

And again, what is your web site address?

The person to introduce the F12 to the catsailor forum and indeed the whole world was this guy :

Now make a rough guess about who the other

some guy

was .... <img src=

The drawing was finalised by the latter on 31 dec 2003 at 10:39 PM

Right before the time when the F16 class got a major boost with the company VectorWorks Marine investigating the possibilty of professionally producing the Blades. Both guys had been busy with that ever since.

I haven't made one yet. Currently it is just a directory opened up to the public so now site adress exists.I'm still trailling behind on my to-do list.

Were near the end of our first week of sail training and have had 60 children out a day on 7 420's and one 14ft cat guess which boat the teenage boys bust their gut to get on even the junior instructors argue over the boat

Ya, whoa, hey, hey. I'm a half decent cut and paster, eh?

When Wouter posted that drawing in

The perfect world for beach cats

it kept haunting me and prompted

Youth Recreation Trend

.

My sincerist apologies to anyone who thought I was capable of producing the drawing or concept.

Next time I'll post via a link for proper indentification and credit. <img src=

I am bringing this thread back to the front, because it is full of good information and insight and discussion about what is needed for introducing young children (ages 7-12) to catamarans.
