You can be competitive between 120kg - 150kg, depending on conditions. Ideal is about 135 - 140. I've sailed at 155kg at beaten the F18 fleet. (I don't know what that is in lbs sorry I don't have a weight converter on hand)
Given the predicted conditions I'd say the heavier crews will do better... the VIPER volume allows them to continue pushing in heavier conditions.
Looking froward to hearing from the guys on the ground there.
For those following along at home: 120kg - 150kg => 264lbs - 330lbs 135kg - 140kg => 297lbs - 308lbs 155kg => 342lbs And Greg, you're a bit of a mutant (yes it's a compliment) and saying you beat the F18 fleet while sailing heavy on the Viper doesn't say all that much when we'd expect you to finish on top regardless, mutants tend to do that. Unless of course you were sailing in a fleet of mutants.

Thanks for converting... I was just being a little slack. Interesting complement... I'll have to let Greg know that one... My name's Brett... I work at ahpc.

| Any comment on the 2-up configuration of the AC?
I'd be interested to see what top line talent can do with the Uni configuration.

Roanoke Island ,N.C. | if its gonna be moderate to heavy - I'm putting my money on Casey/Williams :P
(Although they'll prolly win even if its light)
I'd agree ,but the New England Gangstas should give 'em a run for their money,as long as they can get their pink shirts pressed in time.
