Why...

Because that is not the game we have traditionally played.

You could have a racing class which said... all teams will weigh 350 lbs.... Weight will be added to the boat to get to 350 lbs.

Will people think its more fair to race in this class? Will they WANT to race in this class... How heavy would you have to be... before you said... Nah... not fair... don't want to compete.

Fact of the matter... the mid atlantic Hobie 16 sailors have been trying to build support for the Payload 700 class... boat and sailors must add up to 700 lbs. Its been tough to generate much interest. What does this say about Fair and support of the class.
