I drove a very light layup 41 once, about 8800 lbs, dry. It was a weird boat, when you walked on the deck your feet would sink in. Felt very light at speed, I couldn't imagine wanting a 7000 lbs 41. It would be near impossible to control in high wind, big wave situations.

Craig Barrie built an ulta-light 38 Cigarette. Said it ran something like 110, at the time we we're runnig 95.
He brought it to the OPT race in Chicago in '91, which was a fairly rough race. We thought we'd be far behind.
Nope. He didn't complete even one lap. Said the thing just flew into the sky with every wave.
So much for that approach. As Carl sid, it doesn't work.

My friend that fixed the yellow boat charged more than that just for the gelcoat repair! I think the total job to fix the boat that was already derigged was upwards of $30k back in 94!
