You can probably get away with it better in the big cats, but light weight will still win :(

I'm fairly competitive on my Tornado, I'm currently 17 stone and generally have 12 to 14 stone crews. We are ok upwind in anything but the lightest breads I'm ok but I really notice the weight downwind where I get rolled really easily.

It's not good to be a fat boy on any boat really.

Depending on design; well.
 
You will not be UBER competitive; but you will have a heap of fun on a Hurricane 5.9 or Tornado and with practice weight is not a total 'mare.
