My Top Sailors For 2012 and Their Equipment Choices

Here are my top sailors for this year's PWA tour.  The table is a bit clumsy because it is copied from an Excel spreadsheet and format, colors, structure etc are lost when you do this.  You can still work your way back and forth.  Use the bar at the foot of the page (if you need to) to get to the sail sizes registered by each sailor.  I have a problem with the sizes registered by Micah Buzianis.  You will note that he has both a 6.6m and a 6.3m sail in his quiver.  This restricts the number of big sails he is able to include.  Compare his quiver to Finian's.  Finian starts at 6.1, goes on to 6.9, 7.7 etc and is able to include a 10m size at the top.  So many sailors drop out of heats in light winds when they fall off the plane at a gybe.  A big sail has to be a good thing to have for light days.

Notice that all of the Tabou sailors have included the new 71/113 Manta as their mid size board.
