11st isn't too small for a contender - there have been world champions in the past weighing in at 9 stone...

Big range rather than big persons. I'm 15 stone and 5'11" but am always given a good race by 10 stone squirts if it's force 3 and under. The boat depowerers really nicely and as the wind picks up I have trouble getting under the boom but tiddlers just dive under. |

the other option is to get yourself a moth. there are a couple of cheep ones
around. then you can start designing your own foils... sound fun to me. |
