Getting back on topic fat boys with big profiles are going to be less aerodynamic, at a real disadvantage in light air, sink the boat down to far on its water lines, unable to move around the boat like the whippets, and we carry the same handicap as the 70 kilo skinny bloke, I vote we allow fat blokes to have the same handicap as a dual hander and be allowed to carry the jib as well, tis only fair. smile


Talk about lowering the bar...

Sailing is about weight placement and ballancing the boat, not so much about how much weight. Strapping on some fixed lead to the platform just to make the fat lazy guys who do not move on their boat feel better is BS.
