Got the cover off today. And after this, I decided to bring as much

Once I got all this "stuff" in the back of the truck, I got to
thinking ..

How much does the sailing equipment, the "Stuff" weigh? Any idea
what the
add on weight of all the extra equipment a cruising sailboat carries
weighs?

Around 3000 pounds including food stock on a 42fter.

You are underestimating probably by a factor of at least two. Let's be
realistic about it Your anchors, chain and windlass alone probably
weight around half a ton. The fuel and water and holding tank close to
500 pounds. That's half your 3000 pounds already.

Put it this way. A Coronado 27 has an empty weight of about 5700 pounds.
It says on Capt. Neal's website somewhere, if I recall correctly, that
the last time the Good Captain has his blue water yacht in a travel lift
for a haulout it tipped the scales at 8,800 pounds. And it's only a
27-footer. Yours, being a 42-footer, it's more likely you're hauling
around probably at least three or four extra tons of stuff.
