Just wanted to add that my skipper and I are changing boats (H20 to a F16) just to be in a class with no minimum crew weight. We are 265lbs together with all our gear on. Carrying weight and having a heavy boat is just too much (and dangerous). We are not Olympic material but really enjoy racing. So I can vouch for teams that are lightweights and can't gain weight. If the class has not had a minimum crew weight in the past they really shouldn't add it now.
