Heavy means the ability to take abuse from the user... Well.. that is Matt Millers point... I am not sure I understand how this actually works though.. How does more resin equal more abuse resistance?
Specifically the Hobie 17 experience: After the boat was introduced, we had to change to a heavier cloth and more of it. Mostly due to users poor trailering techniques. We had to use more cloth in the wing tubes because of lazy wing removal and installation. What the designers envisioned had to be changed for the reality of the marketplace. Easy and fool proof is what is expected from a Hobie Cat. The boat got heavier.
You couldn't just cut down on the other overbuilt areas of the boat?
