Please correct me if I am in error, but wasn't the original crew weight 1000#? And was this not designated by the designer himself? Is it is too simple to go back to the original weight limit before other interests were involved and caused it to change to 880#? I have been told by more than one person that the change to 880# was due to the complaints that smaller crew were not able to get on crews. If, in fact, true that would mean it was a political change and not mechanically nor structurally motivated or, perhaps, even needed.

I agree with Larry and Mike that it is very difficult to find the balance at the current weight limit. I had to eliminate one of my crew to make weight this last Nationals and boy did we pay for it.

I stayed out of the discussion as you were all doing such a wonderful job of covering the points, but when someone said that there were only a few concerned (complaining) I had to chime in. I am for a change back to the original weight limit of 1000#.
