Well, I have something to say. I am totally opposed to weight modification factors for Portsmouth. Thank goodness we don't have minimum crew weight for the Hobie Waves. We are doing series racing twice a week up here on Lake Erie, and Rick is winning all the races, even though he outweighs my sister and I by almost 100 pounds, and one of the male competitors by almost 50 pounds. And the races have all been in light air! On top of that, he never remembers to drain the water out of his hulls -- and I sure don't remind him!
