Ohhh wow ! Does John Casey has a crew from heaven !!!

I'm guessing combined they are right at the centre of the optimal crew weight range.

Although, is John C. willing to become the string b**** and have John W. "holding the tiller" when the winds go over 10 knots ? His weight will need to be out there in those winds and John W. on the wire won't do much at all. On F16's it pays to keep the skipper on board as long as possible. Steerage is sharp en sensitive, the skipper has to be solid as a rock when on the wire or you'll be bounching from side to side like the ball in a pin ball machine.

In big wind and under spi you'll want the bulk of the crew weight to be to the rear of the skipper, who is sitting in. And you can't have that when the skipper is ....
