I guess I wasn't clear: actually, they have the competitor stand on
the scale twice, once while holding the boat, once without, and then
take the difference. It's the easiest way to weigh the boat.

I don't think there's an all-up minimum weight, including crew.


Well, the rules on the class web site have what seems to be an all-up
minimum.

Rules (... snip ...)

4. Weight correction. Hull weight shall be a minimum of 34 lbs.
including flotation but without rudder, daggerboard, spars and sail.
Under-weight hulls must be reconstructed to conform. The adding of
non-buoyant materials to increase hull weight is prohibited.

Minimum combined weight of hull and crew in sailing clothing shall be
214 lbs. Weight correction to bring crew-hull to proper weight shall be
made by carryig water-filled plastic ballast bottles (8 1/2 lbs. per
gallon) in the boat, up to a maximum of 4 gallons. Ballast bottles may
not be moved while racing.



Damn those pesky facts!

Do I get my usenet license suspended if I admit I was wrong?
