[quote=HobieBlair1]Trust me, I would LOVE for the F20 scene to explode (except for the 30k entry fee!!) because Im 6'9" tall and 220lbs! Its hard to find crew small enough and strong enough for an F18, although some recent experiences at the Worlds have me thinking that my "Light is best" mentality is all wrong. Sure its great to be skinny in a floater, but when the breeze is up, 20-30 lbs can add some serious speed to evenly matched competitors.
He asked why doesn't the main get punched through with the daggerboard, them being pulled up high. My answer was that your equipment should probably never get to that point of trim, unless somethings gone very wrong. To depower downwind with boards fully out, you aint sheeting out. If its nuking and you're in survival mode to get home, you'd be fine two sailing it without the kite, as long as you kept it deep, and STILL didn't travel out the main to keep the power manageable. Closer to DDW, if not exactly.[/quote]
