We all want you to sail your boat, not sell it. But, your argument below is illogical on many levels -- primarily though, because it is you that proposes to change a rule, a rule that (I believe) was in place when you joined the class.

Judging from the responses on this thread, I suspect the only solution with any viability would be one that essentially keeps the existing 880lb limit but adjusts it slightly to compensate for differences in righting moment based on the weight of the driver. If you want to research the physics behind that and write up a proposal, I'm sure it could be put to a vote.

:: OK guys, I have been thinking about the comment someone
:: made about getting someone else to drive the boat when
:: the driver is heavy in order to get more weight on the
:: rail. That suggests I give my boat away. The alternative
:: is a MINIMUM driver weight and if you weigh less, either
:: bulk up or give your boat away to someone heavier. It
:: makes about as much sense as my giving away my boat. I
:: have done too many regattas with 4 to make weight over
:: the years to ever do it again. Superscillious- yes. but
:: I hope I make the point that giving away to boat does
:: not make any more sense than racing with 4.
