what does that say for us moth sailors then??? am i like my boat, carbon based, fast and way cool? id have to agree though if you know someone (think of a friend) and then think of their boat you usually can see evidence of their personality in it, be it the class or just features. The prime example being the solo as previously mentioned, there is definetly a stereotype attached to certain classes, drascombe, wayfarer, folkboats

I only started sailing them in Easter because a friend of mine
didn't have a crew for the Europeans we fell out after that so I was a floating crew and sailed for anyone who needed me at an open. At da mo I'm helming Slick Chick in my clubs Frostbite series but I'm like you and a bit small for the boat so my nice crew takes the mainsheet for me so I don't dunk her! sometimes! Which one did you sail?  Edited by Binky |

You push the seat across the boat and run round the back of the main, need very good balance but looks very cool if you can pull it off.

The Canoe takes a range of sizes/weights/ages. The "ideal" crew weight is quoted at 10 - 13.5 stone, though I'm 6'4" & 15.5 stone and seem to manage OK. In reality they are a little different to sail but are more forgiving than you think though I still get very wet (one day I'll be able to do corners........) They are probably no more demanding than other boats, after all you spend all your time sitting down rather than hiking or dangling off a wire, though the class related injuries are likely to be unique to the Canoe - friction caused by repeated sliding up and down the seat can lead to interesting rashes/friction burns.
