Subject: What's your crew weight?
Info: (15171 views) Posted: Friday 9-7-12 08:47:03 PM

:: Hi all,
::
:: In in the team building phase and I am having a really
:: hard time getting close to the weight limit. Right now
:: with 5, we are over by 49 lbs. On my boat is one guy who
:: I think would be more fit if he were 20 lbs lighter and
:: a pencil who only weighs in at 155 lbs. The rest of us
:: are "right" in my opinion for our height and weight (the
:: guys are either on the tall side, or muscular, or both).
::
:: I think my options are to 1) cut one crew member which
:: if it's the 155 pounder that would put us at 774 lbs and
:: I'll never have to worry about weighing in again but
:: we'll be sailing 106 lbs shy of the limit. 2) cut the
:: lightest guy and and try and find a 100 lb female to
:: sail with us.
::
:: Having no other E-27s down in Santa Cruz right now to
:: sail against I don't have a way of gauging how much of a
:: handicap we'll have in one design racing if we're 100
:: lbs "light".
::
:: I read the long thread about being light in the rail
:: during tacks which would be one issue but I suppose it
:: really comes down to how long you can carry the Genoa as
:: the breeze builds which is probably far more important
:: than the advantage gained sailing a bit light on the
:: downwind legs.
::
:: So... for the bay fleet in particular. What's your crew
:: weight and at what wind strength do you typically have
:: to shift gears to the jib?
::
:: I do intend to bring the boat up to the bay when the
:: crew is ready for one design racing which is why I'd
:: like to get this figured out now.
::
:: thanks
::
:: Bryan

Hey Bryan, Tuning up for the ntls now with projected crew weight of 870. Being within 25 lbs of 880 is like having turbolift. I change down to the #3 gladly at about 14 tws. #3 the boat points better and is so much better handling out of a tack. SDK
