Posts: 29 Texas | I am currently re-rigging my Nacra 6.0 NA with Calvert sails screecher etc as my first move to get back into competitive one design cat racing (get fit, have fun, make the kids/ wife happy) but am wanting ultimately to move down to F18 as that seems the place to be. Will keep the Nacra of course. Question re F18: 1. What are the specific rules for crew weights/ adjusters? I am 240 and crew is 115. Can we be competitive and how does the adjustment work (if at all!). I have searched for an answer but am still a little unclear. Please advise. 2. There will be a second question and a 3rd depending on the answer to the first.

The boat does perform well with that weight, especially once you're double trapped - others around you will be depowering in the mid-teens while you are coming into your best performance band. At around 320, my skipper and I carry crew corrector weight and hit the bottom of the cunningham somewhere around 13 knots.
