That's good to know. Unless I start getting chunky I would have to add almost 20lbs to make minimum. The "other" singlehand 17 its 157lbs.

I am down to 180# and if you "have a set" and use the proper technique (with or without a righting bag) you can get the F17 back over.

Weight is a "non-issue" that's why they make cat trax and righting bags or poles.

Yea weight is a "non-issue" until someone turtles. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> Then the tears start to fall as reality to sets in. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
