Platform weight matters Sam, ask yourself do you want a heavy F18 or one that is close to or at min weight? Why did Jill deaply discount the heavy C2's? Weight doesn't matter and handicap racing works... they call that a twofer.
Of course those boats would be discounted, but that doesn't mean they would slow the average sailor down one bit.
I would really like to get my hands on one of those boats.
