Well Sten is heavier than you and he seems to do OK ...

That weight is fine in the MPS; the boat seems to carry weight very well; rewarding skill more than anything else ...

There are quite a few people in the +95kg range, as there are in the -65kg range.

To be honest, I don't think people specifically buy the boat because it matches their weight range. It's more to do with getting the reward from having great fun sailing and improving your skill levels in a helpful and friendly class environment.
