One thing I have against the F 16 class is the lack of crew weights. As I understand there are none. Is it fare if I go sailing with my wife and we weigh 300 lbs and another sailor is sailing with his kid and they weigh 200 lbs. If we both had equal skills I would never be able to keep up carrying an extra 100 lbs. That would keep me from buying an F16. Why does the F16 class not have a proven weight system like the F18 ? Just my thoughts.
Simple; You buy a mainsail cut fuller and so more power.
There is an effective minimum weight (about 60kg ish) single handed as you must be able to right the boat single handed.
at 300lbs (136 kg) I'd say you would have a real good all up weight to drive the boat hard. Yes a boat sailing 2up 200lbs (90kg) would be quicker in the light stuff, but I'd expect them to struggle in the big stuff.
