My bitch against the crying on boat size is that most of the claims are by people who aren't that heavy and would be right in the mix in the F18 class in crew weight for example, but stick with the too big claim.



I think Mischa and Eduard are combined something like 154 kg (340 lbs). Ashby and Bundock were around 160 kg (355 lbs) combined at a time. Never stopped them from winning their races.

I think experience in the F18 class has shown that you can't see a significant correllation between race results and crew weights when you stay in the range 140-165 kg (310lbs - 365lbs). The 140 kg limit is most due to having to sail with the smaller suit of sails.

I don't know how heavy Trey is but I dare quess he and his crew are not above 165 kg (365 lbs)
