Yeah amazing idea try and get as many on the CLUB topper as we can (Rich is a good idea, hes really light lol).

We tryed that at a bristol avon sc regatta and the topper was nearly sunk and then we managed to complete a dry capsise with three people staying dry lying on the gunales

Wow, that would be some serious record breaking, although a trimaran would be even better !!

hmmm i wonder i bet you could fit soooooo many people in a catamaran, because you could just lay people on the tramp and have like a good 4 layers of people would be great, the bototm people may get a little crushed though , then you could strap people to the hulls i imajine youd be able to get about 20 people!

I remember trying it in toppers when i was younger, i think we got something like 10 before capsizing (but it took about 30 to sink the dory )
Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
