Why use an open 50, wouldn't something a bit tamer be more appropiate considering it's being the youngest that counts, not the fastest, so finishing at all had more importance than finishing fast?

In big waves, I'd rather have a bigger boat like an open 50. And the boat is
as tame as the amount of sail he chooses to have up.
