Especially, whether you think it is a big deal if your boat is heavier than somebody else's boat in the same one-design class -- or formula class, for that matter.
We race one of, if not, the heaviest boat in our class. The difference in weights, from lightest to heaviest, is minor (3.5%). Our crew weight is 20 to 30 pounds over minimum. We've had our best finishes in less than 10 knots of wind. This boat seems to be very negligable of crew weight. For us (weekend warriors) no big deal.
