Subject: Weight Limit
Info: (14573 views) Posted: Thursday 7-5-07 09:25:32 AM
Mike, I don't understand your logic on this. How will increasing the weight limit not end up with bigger people still dieting to make that weight limit? There will always be a competition to have the ideal weight no matter what the rule is.

::
:: Hi Again:
::
:: I favor a 1030 to 1050 weight limit . . . but would not
:: oppose 1000#. That extra 30#s to 1030 makes crew
:: selection no sweat . . . and no one will have to diet
:: before a weight imposed resgatta.
::
:: MB
::
:: :: I also vote to re-examine this wieght limit thing. I
:: :: also like 1000#. As I and my friends get older, its
:: :: harder to stay under 880. My female crew member is in
:: :: the Olson Nationals in Tahoe so I'm stuck with 185 to
:: :: 210 guys!
:: ::
:: ::
:: ::
:: :: :: The weight limit is screwed up and always has been since
:: :: :: improsed. I suggest it be dropped.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: It makes it tough to find a steady crew. And, as far as
:: :: :: I could see, only is enforced at the NA regionals.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: The weight limit, which was originally open, was always
:: :: :: fine by me. That means no matter who jumped int he class
:: :: :: at a higher weight tuned to a specific regatta
:: :: :: condition.
:: ::
:: :: :: #1050 to 1100#s is an the ideal total crew weight all
:: :: :: around (upwind + downwind) weight. Some tried 1200#s
:: :: :: when the fleet still did triangles (which I happento
:: :: :: like) and did well when it blew. However, 1200#s is
:: :: :: markedly slow on the downwind run of windward leeward
:: :: :: courses.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: After the open weight limit, the 1000# was imposed. Then
:: :: :: dropped to #880; the same as a J24 go figure.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: Politically, this weight was pushed on the class by
:: :: :: Steve Lake, Ralph Morgan, and others who or are members
:: :: :: of the Pinneaple Sails Coalition.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: Members of this ancient (1988) voting block no longer
:: :: :: have boats, or sail at all.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: I suggest the weight limit be reexamined. I personally
:: :: :: would vote for its elimination entirely.
:: :: ::
