I will weight in here for a bit (pun intended). I am in favor of a change in crew weight limit up to 1000 lbs. as that was the original crew weight Carl designed the boat to carry. Not being a mathematician I will not attempt to argue numbers except to say that the difference of 100 lbs. that Mike speaks of does not seem to me to be such an additional stress on the boat, but a lot less stress on the skipper to put a crew together consistently. I am still having a very difficult time picking up the diehard logic of the crew weight needing to be 880 lbs. I have never seen nor heard any logic for that particular number. It seems to me that Mike's number of 980 lbs. is at best reasonable and at least based upon some use of arithmetic. I second Mike's motion to change the crew weight to 980 lbs.

Does this motion have any standing, anyway. If so, let's vote on it.
