So what you're saying is that maybe we all need to join US SAILING and make an extra donation so our Olympic athletes can hire better nutritionists so they can eat actual food rather than dog food and get the same nutritional value, but... once again, this has nothing to do with the Laser class being unsuccessful. There are tons of people racing Lasers just for fun, just like we are.

As Pat already pointed out, fat people like us can and do have moments of brilliance. If I were concerned about my weight vs. trophy ratio, I'd either get to a gym or sail a leadmine.
