At least you are getting near the point. Most of us consider his advice UNwise.

I am a weekend sailor, albeit, not a very good one. I bought my Blade because it was the LIGHTEST , fastest, spinnaker boat I could buy and by class rule, could race it single handed. I do not wish to lug more weight through the sand or even tow it behind my car.

The vast majority of us want to keep the boats as light as possible. Macca is in the minority, his arguments are not persuasive but he persists in beating this dead horse in the faint hope it will come back to life. From where I stand, he has demonstrated far greater skills at sailing than marketing.
