Correctors for "light crew" in clases that have it usually get you to carry 1/2 or some such formula as the weight being added is dead wight that cannot be moved around.
If you make lightweights carry all the weight (or more) to make them up to Min weight, they are then at a disadvantage to those that hit min weight exactly.
. . and could be argued that they are at an advantage to those who do not hit min weight exactly(that are heavy), light air, displacement, etc.
Hence whey under weigth crews carry some of the weight to get them back to min weight.
O.K. Overall, makes sense now. I didn't intend to imply they should carry more than #325, and I do not favor that. I'm really trying to get a better understanding of the "intent" of these type rules. Now when I go back and read 7.1b.1 I can see it from another perspective. It's funny when you race at well over 400# how prejudice takes place. I'm not sure I buy into the theory that less than #325 is always a disadvantage. Just curious, does F18 do this?
