If I was a wippet I would certainly love to sail one. 

By wippet I assume you mean a normal human being with weight between 65 and 75 kilos, so not obese? (Obesity starts at 80 kgs).  

Obese is better linked to the percentage of a persons body weight which is fat. Using body weight as a proxy for body fat works as a rough gauge but is irrelevant in many sports. You are welcome to come call me obese if you want   

I'd heard H2s were rapidly replacing Phantoms as chariots of obesity.. just saying   

It won't be long before you get the delights of maxibuddah and his friends from the planet pie, spewing gravy all over your stand at the dinghy show..

The H2 fleet is certainly growing well - if you ordered today you would be waiting for your boat build slot till well into 2022 with a new boat built every three weeks and its been great to see a number of well known helms buying new or used boats to get into the fleet. And yes - the boat seems to accommodate weight well in that we regularly have a big spread of helm weight at the front of the fleet from 70kg to in excess of 100kg probably because the hull can carry the weight, the rig is powerful but also able to be de-powered by the lighter guys. But I personally think a big driver to the class taking off is that it is a friendly and welcoming class which I suspect is something we have in common with the Europe's!
