Weight limit is dependant on more than just LOA, but the Lake Erie PHRF crew
handicap for a basic C&C 39 is 2283 pounds.

Here is a link to their website.

Hopefully will pull in at least one flag at Bay Week, finished 3rd across
the line last night, corrected to last. The skipper didn't say much about
it, but does anyone out there know the weight limit for a 39' boat. Is it
length dependent or what? Several of us were commenting on the # of crew
they had on board, the son of one of our crew who was aboard counted 14,
someone mentioned that their weight limit would be 2500 lbs. Comments?

,Wow! Where did you hear that crap?.

How about the PHRF rulebook. (See copy below) In most areas that I know of
only 1 design fleets have weight limits. Any other questions?

Children 14 years and under do not count against crew limitation. Sailboats
racing with PHRF ODR (One Design Rating) rating certificates will have crew
limitations as established by the national One Design class rules.
