Actually Wouter.. filling a boat with helium is not as silly as it sounds...

Early 80's there was a lot of experimentation done in the moth class here in Oz, they put bladders into the hulls and filled them with lighter than air gas.

the net result was negligible, but still quite a few pursued it. obviously the moth hulls had a lot more volume back then and there was nothing in the class rules to prevent it.

so a very old idea being rehashed yet again.
