Thanks Paul, you beat me to the punch this morning, that was exactly what I was going to do to prove my point.

:: If you look at crew weight to sail area (main+jib), the
:: story is a little different.
:: 

:: - Moore 24 -- 3.34lbs per square foot
:: - Express 27 - 3.19lbs per square foot
:: - Olson 30 - 2.89lbs per square foot
:: - Antrim 27 - 2.04lbs per square foot
:: - Melges 24 - 2.03lbs per square foot
:: - Melges 32 - 1.98lbs per square foot

:: I tend to agree with Bob though, you can support almost
:: any position with carefully chosen statistics.
