BTW, a lot of people have bought a boat that's 20% above the min weight.
And, there is a boat that's just as new as the Viper and it's a little lighter...AND it hasn't taken the class by storm on finishes as people would suggest.
Again,
It comes down to the person sailing the boat. To many people have it in their heads that a few kilo's makes a BIG difference...
Heck, go look at the Alter cup placement that just happened today.
Some of the lighter teams finished in the middle of the pack and the heavier teams finished higher up. So, what's the problem?
