Subject: The Weight Limit is 880 #

Mike, I did not understand your post. Maybe I am becomming senile. I support Bob's position. I am not a fan of the weight limit and feel that is is one more thing that effects fleet participation. I personally turned away 8 potential crew for the Midwinters based upon their weight. I had to turn away sailing expertise in favor of low mass.

:: Hi Everyone:

:: Sure the weight can be revisted. I thought it was

:: votes or some votes changing position, that the weight
:: was and remains a target for some improvement.
