Crew/weight on the Bow

Ahoy, Gentlemen, far be it for me the Pirate of Pine Island to get involved in a disussion on racing but it seems to me from my experence,limited though it is that the only time weight on the bow was advantageous came soley from the fact that our hard chined vessel performed better bow down. My current more traditional hull does not. Hope that clarifies the issue some. Big Red 56
