In the european multihull regattas I see, it would appear the vast majority of female sailors are driving the boats. In the USA it would appear to be opposite this. Any particular reason for this?

Any particular reason for this? More seriously, I think it make sense to put the lighter ones on the tiller, and women are usually lighter. At the level of competition the euro F18 are any little gain is worth taking. | | | Re: Ask Glenn Ashby a question, or 2...

Also the crew drives the mainsail most of the time upwind and the Kite down wind.
