I am strongly considering rejoining the cat masses, and it would appear that the F18 is really the only way to go for decent racing. Problem is that we will be heavy. We were a great fit for the N20, but pretty fat for the 18. So, I am shedding some weight to get closer, but it will be difficult to get our weight below 380.

I realize that for the first while, learning to get the boat performing is going to be more important than having the right boat. Regardless, I want to get the boat that would be best for us from the start. I also know that no boat has proven to be significantly better than another overall. But, has any particular design proven to be slightly better for heavyweights?
