Best boat in big breeze ever - can be pushed really hard offwind and will plane upwind with 21 stone in it...

S'funny, I've never seen any 12 plane upwind when significantly close-hauled. Beam reaching maybe, but upwind and with 21 stone..... If you are planing upwind, you'd be really significantly reducing your VMG. IMO you're better off pointing higher in a 12.

You wouldn't want to do that - it would be a real waste of carbon. Stick with what you've got's my advice. Or use an In.t14 rig!
I'm quite happy with my Tasar and 59er. Sunday out in 1 bft. Still got on the plane easily with 155 Kg crew weight.
Take care 12ers and greetings from Julian Bethwaite. He thinks you're a great class - a little crazy but great none the less!
Cheers!

Food was very good, we rate the cakes as 10 on the Zoe scale

Thanks to Starcross for an excellent weekend

hello,
my parents brought home a 12 poster from the burghfiled open this weekend.
i was trying to read the name of the boat that was on it.... clearly i'm not skilled at reading letters and words backwards!
i wondered if this was some weird 12 thinge and then noticed the ''gill'' on the crews hat was backwards too! ahh i think someone mirrored the image on the computer!!
