Trivia Question; Shortest Olympic Sailor Log-In to Post
It's interesting that the shortest sailor is on a board. What IS the ideal boat for the legroom-advantaged? Lasers, even Radials, require height. I'd love to sail an Open Bic but not against 12 year old kids. Anyone got any advice for the Little Guys and Girls who want to steer?

Being short is not helping Nancy on the RS:X board, just like it would be a disadvantage in most every Olympic class. The only classes that doesn't readily penalize shorter sailors are the 470, but only for the skipper.

It's not the size of the boat, it's how you work the tiller...or so I've heard.
