New Classes Wish List

Rather than a never ending supply of copycat SMODs, how about the following six new restricted development classes.  Sure, it doesn't catch all demographics, but it gets the majority.  Note:  Where kites are mentioned I mean asymmetrics.  Rules should prohibit developments that increase cost, complexity or difficulty e.g. no fixed ruddes, so that retain the appealing SMOD-like simplicity. 

F1 - Singlehanded class, one sail, no trapeze.  Based on Moth rules before they went narrow, foil-borne and beyond the ability/expense/hassle of the club racer.  Two sail sizes proposed, one for Laser size sailors, one for radial size folk.  Bytes, Europes, Streakers etc would be grandfathered in.

F2 - Singlehander with kite and trapeze, like MPS and 700, both of which would measure.  That way you get to sail together in bigeger fleets.

F3 - Two man boat, no kite or trapeze.  Like a N12, but able to carry a bit more weight and with more modern rig rules.  NS14?

F4 - Two man, kite, no trapeze.  RS400 style dev class (or Merlin with asymmetric).

F5 - Two man, kite, one trapeze.  SImilar to L4000 and ISO, both of which would qualify.

F6 - As F5 but supersized, for the growing number of 15+stone sailors.

what about the 14? or the 18?

you have nothing there for two or three stringing?????

I like to think of my self as a sailing god (I'm not but I can dream) but I couldnot aford to replace a spinaker and related kit on a regular bases hence the appleal of the contender 

I gave up sailing for 12 years cos I was bored with it, and came back when I realised how exciting some of the new classes were. For me it is a shame the most new development now is in the plastic washing up bowl department, but actually these robust and accessable boats must be good for newcomers to the sport, and therefore must be good for the sport!

(I mean they must be, mustn't they? I can't believe it really, but...) Anyway, I know it would be nice if we could all agree and sail the same thing, but people actually want the choice, and loose interest if they can't find exactly what they want. The paradox of modern sailing: more choice = more people sailing.
