Slack building methods are the reason the Nacras and Hobies are so heavy.. The F18 rules encourage porky boats...
I beg to differ - "slack" building methods would result in boat weights all over the place. PC and Hobie are very good about consistant boat weight (of the 4 Nacra F18's in our area, they all weigh within 2 lbs of each other completely rigged). "Slack" building methods would result in inconsistant weights.
Unoptomised designs, yes. "Slack", no.
