So you want 12's to become a smaller class do you? T foils will add considerably to the cost, not just in the short term ( the actually equipment cost ) but longer term as well. Because they will effect hull shapes dramatically so the well sponsored boats can develop and build new hulls and the old boats are instantly in-competitive. Currently the 12-footers are competitive across the fleet regardless of boat age ( within reason ). What you are suggesting would be very detrimental the the class. All I can say about that new 12-footer is the guys that sail her had better be rock stars or like swimming. |

good point on the boyancy distribution, wont help when they fall over backwards on a tack. ![]()
Probably the most sensible thing to say. I cant wait to see it finished and on the water. I think they will have some other trick up their sleaves possibly the little fins I think I remember seeing on the pintail moths before they put them on the rudders |

If it doesn't break it's too heavy; if it does it wasn't built right
