I can see that this might become an issue. It should probably be addressed by the International group.

It seems to me THE Chuck did that once. I don't recall for certain. Ask Matt, he would probably know.

Personally I don't care. Use a dozen different sail/crew combinations if you like.

My reasoning is this: if you're making major changes during a regatta, it's probably from frustration; and any change is only going to make things worse! Think of Matt & Gina. Their performance does not change with the conditions. They are always on top of their game. It is the crews skill level that is important, not their body weight.

I think there is a regatta down in the Bahamas where they carry multiple crew and the crew jump of the boat, into the water, during the race!
