Also, The A-cat can be raced very well with a spinnaker if you are so inclined. Clive Mayo comes to mind - he's a big guy and he does quite well in Portsmouth racing with the 'chute.
Disagree about the freeboard on Blades - I've raced on the boat double-handed and it did fine. My skipper wasn't 200 lbs, but we were over 300 on the boat. In the breeze, that thing is damn fast.

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.
