Mary,

I know you had touched on this topic before, but it has been established in beachcat racing that the fat guy should really be crewing, and the lighter person on the stick. With some of the minimum weights these days on even the F-18, it would appear that a female skipper would be ideal.

Is it the male ego that prevents this combination? I recall Les from team Fully Involved used to be lethal when his wife drove and he pulled strings. He was about 225# and she was 110# (soaking wet with gear).

So how does one encourage females to drive and race?
