Abstract
The effect of crew weight is studied by comparing time deltas for crews of different physique relative to a baseline 80Â kg sailor. Results show relatively high sensitivity of the performance around a race course to the weight of the crew, with a 10Â kg change contributing to time deltas of more than 60Â s relative to the baseline sailor over a race of one hour duration at the extremes of the wind speed range examined.
