What we really need in cat sailing is some corrector for height that has a lot more impact in performance than weight on a modern spin boat. The short guys are considerably dissadvantaged in righting moment.
Wider platforms for short people.
Nothing like diversion to get off of a sensitive topic (LOL)! BTW string bean, it is "height challenged".
Shorter sailor(s) would be less windage? A book from the 90's talks about keeping crew and skip close to minimize windage, a la road biking.
