    Not one girl? I know you need a bit of weight to hold these boats down. But surely there is one girl in france that can sail with the boys?

    Hi Ant !

    You are totaly right, many girls in France are talented enough to be helm or tactician in this campaign, nevertheless as you probably know the rule allows an average of 80kg / crewmember, and there are only a very few girl who are fat enough and all the other guys need a serious physical power.

    Are you personaly involved in a youth project?

    Best regards,

    Emeric,

    Thanks for writing something back.
    I wasn't aware of that particular rule.. You have a pretty good point. I'd still thought if its an average you could figure sth out.

    I'm no longer a youth, sad to admit.

    good luck,
    Ant
