Haha...you have to be joking. Not knocking the Wave per se, but it is not a race boat, although the race fleet is pretty decent. If you want a fun single hander, go A-Cat. Otherwise, get a spin boat. In that weight range, it's F-18 or N20. Given the popularity of the Tiger in your area and the lowish cost to entry, I would go that route. Are you going to be competitive on that boat in that weight range at World's? No, but you can definitely sail the boat and do fairly well locally if you learn how to sail. To prove my point, I got my butt kicked sailing a N20 at 400lbs vs. another two N20's with crew weights below 380 lbs, in a consistent 25 kts of breeze. This really showed me its the guys/gals sailing the boat, not weight per se. That being said, in under 10kts, the lighter guys really take off (usually me, my normal crew and I weigh in at ~365 lbs on the N20).
