<br>I understand that the F18 can be fast and do agree that the boats are heavy. However, cutting out the weight in the crew area draws the knife across the throat of bringing in more sailors. Remember that in NAF20 we are talking about more sail area which will offset the weight issues which I believe in your example would have the F18 losing ground to the NAF20's.

<br>I'll try and keep my shirt on but, don't even go about dropping crew weights I know that the monosailors will walk and with them so does the sponsor dollars.
