Maybe I'm just hopped up on Caffeine or something, but how come every time this issue comes up we have a cynic in the room about weight? Obviously you are being funny, but truthful none the less.

I'm really curious...

Really, if you look at the GYC(http://www.gulfportyachtclub.com/multihull%20results.htm) results about two weeks ago, you would think that the lighter boats would destroy the "heavier boats".... but in the lighter winds, RACE 3(not much lighter, but lighter), the heavier boat won the race? RACE 5, even lighter winds than RACE 3, Tom Shannon on a Viper single handling got 3rd place ahead of a Blade that was single handed, Yes, I know a Single handed Blade got 1st place in that race and a boat with Crew got Second.

So, what's up with that?

I'm not trying to start a fight or anything, but the weight thing is really a non issue....well maybe if it's blowing less than 5, the lighter boats might be at an advantage....Heck at 5 it's a crap shoot anyway...But as far as I'm concerned, in this class, it all comes down to the sailor, NOT the boat, even a heavier boat.....
