And there's nothing wrong with that - you're being honest about what it takes to race that particular boat. I am not suggesting that you change a thing - I was merely stating that it was more of a gender and weight thing that sent me to the F18, not a numbers thing as was being claimed.

JW,
Weight would obviously be an issue for you, I've got goldfish that weigh more than you. laugh
If I thought I could be competitive on an F-18 weight wise ,I'd surely try one out, but it's not possible. With my lightest crew I'd still be in the upper window of being competitive(365-370). I do find the numbers attractive, it'd be hard not to, but until there is only 2 Nacra 20s left, the odds are pretty good I'll be on one of them. Now an Infusion 20 might be enough to make me switch,but don't see it happenin'.

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