Doublehander for 2 lightweights

   We sail a scorpion with 20 stone (125kg) and it works for us!    For sure the heavy guys have some advantage upwind in waves but the modern boats have no vices and can be depowered quite effectively so they can be handled safely by lighter or younger crews.   Worth a try!
