I think that might be true of all the very light boats. Haven't there been some catastrophic failures on the AC boats and big Tris?

I know that with Arie and I both on the Blade, I wouldn't allow double trapping and sailed much more "softly" than normal. 450+ lbs of "rail meat"? That's gotta be a bad idea on a 240 lb boat.


yeah, 450 is a bit much (warranty says 395 I think). I had 380 on the wire at midwinters and the baot felt a little sluggish.
