Been there done that and It's NOT ever good. When you get to where it's beneficial you start breaking stuff.These boats are a little different than a 16 in that if your light you can flatten sails and go faster when it pipes up.
Thanks for the thought though.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
