Subject: Considerations uping weight limit to 1060 to 1080
Info: (2579 views) Posted: Monday 10-2-23 11:34:07 PM
Marcia and I have conferred, and these fleet participation debilitating points are not just fallacies they are sophistries and cannot be proven.

WP, the boat will structurally blow up with 6 . . . bull shit maintain u'r boat

WP, the 880# weight limit allows a woman . . . so would 1060 to 1080.

Executive committee there are currently detractors, the price of an extra sandwich.

Marcia points out and I agree with 880# flogging the rig is more detrimental to the entire boat than propagating the fallacy that the boat will blow up structurally.

I maintain someone at my weight is not competitive at 260# in the back of the boat without a midship counterweight and EVEN THAT IS NOT COMPETITIVE say beginning 220# and has cost the fleet membership.

Marcia and I agree, 6th person opens up a training position when the weight limit is 1060 to 1080.

Marcia and I agree the 6th person opens up a fleet recruiting path.

Marcia and I conferred on the Morgan Larson technique of 7 that Marcia also employed that sends essentially no weight with big arms to leeward trim.

Marcia and I conferred on Jeff Madrigalli 1100# NAs and it works on a windy circle NA but I have found from 40 years of e27 racing over 1065 is on average faster than 1100#.

Fleet participation looks good in the winter but on average is dying having adopted the weight limit of a J24.

More people more fun . . . you can always go with less than 1080.
