Alright, lets do it your way :

It requires a whole lot more "technique" to handle a 340 lbs boat then say a 240 lbs boat. Same goes for righting such a boat in anything but a squall where the boat is thumbling along across the watersurface quite nicely already; that is without human interverence.

The required "technique" rises exponentially with reduced windspeeds. At 15 knots or less the required level of "technique" can easily be such that it is practically impossible for a 128 lbs person to ever attain; no matter how many hours of practising on the water.

The required level of "righting technique" also shows a remarkable correlation with amassed body weight. For some weird reason heavier persons can make due with less "technique" then lighter persons. It has recently been discovered that a good portion of capsizes in sub-squal-like conditions by lightweight persons ended in the observation that these crews are still insufficiently skilled in their righting technique despite plenty of warnings to that effect in the past.

Does everybody agree with this way of wording things ?

Good,

Wouter

(things used to be easier when politically correctness didn't require us to use replace words like "strength" and "weight" by less discriminatory identifiers such as "technique")
