with all you guys sarcastic remarks I thought I would enlighten you a little further as to "why" im asking such a question. first off I will say that a hobie 16 has about 30 more square feet of sail area than a prindle 16, (imagine 3 feet wide and 10 feet long) but a prindle 16 weighs in just 20 pounds lighter than a hobie 16, now imagine that I weigh 180, my crew weighs 225, so together we are at 405. the ideal weight for a prindle or hobie for that matter is 285. so I have three choices either get my crew to lose weight (alot of weight) or change my crew, or increase my sail size. sense my crew is not overweight but just a BIG person we have decided to increase sail size, NOW before you say anything. YES we could easily "borrow" a set of hobie sails from someone in our yacht club, however being the Only PRINDLE in our club we are trying not to give them any ideas as to what we are doing.( we just wanna blow them away during the next regatta) but YOU being the hobie people that you are are probably holding out giving this poor PRINDLE owner a chance to "rock the boat" but if there's any Prindle owners out there that wanna support a bad butt prindle..please give me the scoop.. as for the rest of you THANKS FOR READING my post. good winds to all!!
