You can try going to the 3 but the boats that have larger overlapping sails and plenty of crew are going to eat your lunch. These are terrific boats but they are meant to powered up and flattened by human ballast which means bigger crews. I know "Former" could win with 6-7 on board, but on my boat we used to carry the 155 pretty far uprange in the breeze and pile on 8 or 9, hiking hard. Powered up and flat is the key, in my opinion, and it's probably why you are bow down on the fleet.
