295lbs is probably ideal.I think if the thermal kicks in at Kingston and you power the boat up,you should be alright.I am planning on sailing with my son and we will weigh in about the same 330lbs.Where you really get hurt is light and lumpy weather.Mick Butler(current 16 world champion) just won a big regatta in Australia weighing in at the 'Fat Bastard" catagory(over 330 lbs).Hey come anyway,you don't have to be a light weight to win the start and there will always be boats to race against.Maybe you and I can go in the Fat Bastard catagory.
