ScottiE 174 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 sorry - don't check in here much. 1st prize to Greg! Reckon you'd be a hell of a lot more competitive if you could do something about that number - might even get you further up the rankings than bribing the RO! That's a lot over for one of the shorter boats. Link to post Share on other sites
johnMi 2 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 I agree Scottie that it's a lot heavier in comparison to the other 8.5s, and if there was an easy way to remove weight, I would do it. But I realise also that it's more of a cruising multi than most of the others. How many other multis have a permanent marine toilet in them, and as I cruise as much as race I'm not taking it out. Whose bribing the RO? Link to post Share on other sites
Ed 143 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Gets worse, 900 is minimum weight for an 8.5 long boat, rule is length(in metres) *100+50 So for an F24, 7.3m loa, minimum weight is 780kg So that puts you 362kg or 46% over minimum weight For class racing that is, for fleet racing, keep sweet talking the handicapper, this info could be useful I'm starting to wonder if the F22, built down to weight (746kg), could be a contender in lighter airs....

Vorpal Blade 89 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Just leave one of the floats and beams on the trailer when you go out - as a proa it might come close to the allowable minimum weight Link to post Share on other sites
