Sure,
It was designed to make finishing the Classic easier. The sternpost was 
laid up by hand and was an awkward because the cloth tended to fall off 
when you were'nt looking. (because of the aft slope) Eventually Europa 
produced the XS which has a sternpost and a few other improvements.
The Classic is a great airplane but it is always possible to improve on any 
design with the benefit of hindsight.
