Supposedly quite narrow at Olympic level. At Club level probably largely irrelevant.

I think the optimum is about 180 - 190 kgs. I'm not sure if they have removed the weight limit for the gold cup level or not. When it blows, it is often a matter of being able to keep the stick in the air than who is bigger. Syncronization between the crew and driver are key.
Live large, love life, and sail fast.
