Tornado average crew weight

   I am just under 16 stone and my crew reckons he is 13. I just can't seem to get him anywhere near a set of scales. We are never going to set the international stage alight, but we do ok Nationally. We came sixth at Weston which was our third Tornado event and about the fifth time we have sailed the boat.
For info we have sailed hurricane 5.9's together for about 7 years, so our crew work is pretty good. We finished the TT series in the top five for the last 4 years I think and have won a few open meetings. 
We are trying to lose weight because we want to do some more European stuff next year. Try to find someone you can sail with, weight you can deal with, personality is more tricky

	To be Internationaly competitive - 140 to 150......... Good luck (and you'll need more than the right weight to be competitive at International) I raced my T at 75 kg with a 90 kg crew = 165 kg....... Too heavy. I later reached 85 kg and my crew 100 which was not good especialy on the F18. My crew is now back to 90 hoping to get to 85. Myself 78 and hoping to get under 70 but will be just skin and bones. It would get us down to 155 kg though.
