Those 'streamliners' the crews wear are to minimize the risk of snagging a line on the PDF/trapeeze gear. I dont think there is much you can do about parasitic drag from the crew. Unless somebody really can make my day and prove that a pear shaped body is ideal for catamaran crews <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Wouter, I read a lot of articles/webpages the other day. I think those numbers for platform drag was from a web forum. I'll see if I can find the link again.
