Seth's boat came in at around 235 lbs. so there isn't much room for weight savings.

It's an older boat and he takes care of it but is not obsessive. So, I would assume there is some water weight, from leakage, codensation and absorption.

Watching JC got me thinking about all this. He carried a very light, very fit crew. On one of the downwinds, JC was in the middle of the tramp, had the main sheeted lightly for that much wind, and seemed to be driving deep. And, he was fast. Very fast!

A rock star Uni driver is what the sport and the class needs. Think about: one guy under spin, trapped out, lots of spray, excellent speed. That would make a great shot for TV.
