Pete, you're pointing out that svelt and fat are not synonymous?
Name a sport (something physical) that does not have a certain body type competing at the top level.
Guys competing at the top of the F18 have crew like Hunter, Tripp, Bastian etc because these guys are athletic and skilled and they win races. Weight does not always equate to less agility and I would put money on a skilled heavy team anyday.
That’s why we have boats like the 20, so the fat slow guys who never learned to sail well have a place to go after they blame their smaller boat for not being competitive. Then they can still get their but kicked by the same guys who were beating them on the 18 or 16 or wherever they just moved from.
Flame – on big guys
