I'm just curious, but why does everyone seem to think that they have to go to smaller boats to singlehand?

I know plenty of people who single hand the bigger boats. Aside from capsize recovery, I see no disadvantage to single handing a bigger boat.

If I'm really pushing the boat hard, it's during our Sunday fleet races. We always have a crash boat on Sundays, so I've got plenty of help getting it back up.
