[quote=Dogboy]I think the point (at least my point) is that you can't simply assume that since one boat is larger it must also be heavier. There are countless factors that play into a boat's weight. An extreme example (as I mentioned in the earlier post) would be to compare a C-Class cat to a Hobie 18. The C-Class cat is nearly 50% larger in all dimensions, yet both boats weigh (roughly) the same - 400 Lbs. Two totally different design criteria for each boat. The C-Class is a fully custom, purpose built boat for one race. The Hobie 18 is a production boat designed to be bashed around on the beach and in the waves and last decades.
