Because nobody wants to spend their life in a Gym?

Sailing used to be more about the muscle between your ears....

Who's said you need to spend your life in the gym to sail a Musto?

sorry mate you must be so fit that you never need to go to the gym or do any sort of excerise because you are amazing igrf at everything you sail !NOT 

i think you find that yes the boat is very demanding and you actully have to put some physical input into sailing it igrf it not just a case of sitting down like you are used which is why its not the boat for you and there is a vast amount of thinking and brain work involved hence another reason why its not for you igrf  most of the guys that choose to sail them are already fit and except the fact they need to be fit serega has been into his fitness man and boy ! he did not take it up just to sail a musto!

just out of interest why do you put negative comments about classes if you hate sailing so much then give it up and stop being a grumpy old git !

I think there is a danger in thinking that the physical/brain effort can be measured against one another asthough they are percentages, always adding up to 100. Just because more physical effort goes in it doesn't mean less mental effort is needed... could be that you need more of both, simply to get around the course.
 
However, I would hate to see dinghy sailing become a sport only for the physically gifted. Luckily, we have a huge choice of boats, many of them with excellent racing to be had, whether dangling on a wire, hanging from toe straps or even sitting in a seat, so there will always be a boat for me to sail (and use my brain) even when I'm even more in pieces than I am now.
