Supposedly quite narrow at Olympic level. At Club level probably largely irrelevant.

to be honist i think that people wory about it to much iv seen really small people good faster than hevey people when its windy because they can sail the boat well
or on the other hand iv seen heveyr people go faster when its light because they can sail the boat well and they get the momentom going |

I think the optimum is about 180 - 190 kgs. I'm not sure if they have removed the weight limit for the gold cup level or not. When it blows, it is often a matter of being able to keep the stick in the air than who is bigger. Syncronization between the crew and driver are key.
