Hey Macca, just for you I asked a "financially disinterested" 3rd party sailor if he thought the min. wt. should be raised. His response? "Why?"

I think you may know him, he's usually on a F18 but has won two Alter Cups on F16's...

He went on to say, "It's a development class, let it develop, raising the min. wt. isn't going to encourage that, and the F18's could easily be built lighter as well..."

I could not corner Greg G. or Robie D. as everyone was very busy breaking down boats and running about but I think Robi got them in his interviews.

The lightest boat to weigh in was a Taipan, right at min. wt.

Robi has some video interviews he will post when able. Good stuff. Thanks for taking the time and effort to do that Robi.
