Great idea. I also like the minimum sailing weight rule which includes
the crew. Clearly, a boat on these proportions is going to be very
sensitive to crew weight.


I guess I wasn't clear: actually, they have the competitor stand on the
scale twice, once while holding the boat, once without, and then take
the difference. It's the easiest way to weigh the boat.

I don't think there's an all-up minimum weight, including crew.
