Mark,
<br>You'd be surprised how many people(men) I know who are under 175 pounds.
<br>Handling spinakers ? You should ask Karen-Ann Xavier what she thinks. She has been sailing with Al Maguire for some time now flying a chute. I am not sure if she hits 125 on the scale.
<br>I also know of people sailing 20' cats considering moving to an 18,including myself. The reason is not a question of not being able to handle the 20 but looking for a lighter boat to tow around on a hitch and on the beach and also because of the potential of the class growth.
<br>
<br>"Why should an iF20 class try to be all things to all people? "
<br>
<br>To be fair.
<br>
<br>With respect
