I frequently sail with one or two crew, very ocasionally with three crew. With four in the boat, two on each side, it is a party, not a sail. One or two crew is fine, but I rerig the main sheet to the stern with a becket, block and cam on the traveler, to keep lines out from peoples feet. On a windy day, three people in the boat allows you to keep a full sail and go fast.

Seems that whenever there are three or more aboard my M-15, one or two are always sitting or stepping on a line, and in the way when a sheet needs to be trimmed. I have finally learned to emphasize that my boat is small whenever I talk to people who might want to go sailing, even have a couple of overwieght relatives with whom I try to avoid such conversations.
