Subject: What's your crew weight?
Info: (23854 views) Posted: Friday 9-14-12 05:26:29 PM
I have to totally agree with what Brendan says about weight not only with regard to the Nationals this year, but in general overall. Tom Jenkins Express #116 Witchy Woman

:: It is nice to be close to 880, but I don't believe that
:: it is as necessary as some. When we won the nat'ls a
:: number of years ago we were 40lbs light. I've raced a
:: variety of boats with underweight crew, and though more
:: tender the boats can still go fast upwind with proper
:: trim--it's just a bit harder.
::
:: Nationals 2012 will likely be sailed in lighter wind
:: making crew weight a bit less important than in heavy
:: air.
::
:: Working to reduce the time crew spends off the rail can
:: help tremendously, as the boat does slow down when
:: people are off the rail and/or on the low side.
::
:: And if you are light, the bright side is that you are
:: faster downwind...
::
:: BTW, crew weight limit will be enforced as always at the
:: nationals...
