I will try to bring the class scales too!
Good point Robin, that hadn't even crossed my mind.... but there are a few museums to do as well.....

Do you know if WPNSA would make us pay to use the boatpark for the day? I was going to be paying a daysailing fee anyway, so it makes no odds to me.

« Last post by deefender1098 on January 10, 2021, 12:27:57 PM »It has been pointed out to me that the lay day between nationals and Weymouth would be a good opportunity to get weights/measurements done on the boats in the fleet without messing with a sailing schedule!! Of course this requires the co operation of boats and sailors so I wanted to see who is up for this sort of thing? I guess most of us won't be heading back to work for the one day so let me know what your thoughts are!!!

Ctech mast with all the wires, all trapeze lines etc.
But there is a remarkable difference between that and shinys mast, yes; due to the stump the mast is about 500mm shorter, but I have to put a bit of effort in to lift Poppy’s mast.

Always get your crew to cut them before an event

Stock: 1240
Pole: 1590 (with tack line)
Boom: 2000g (clas mandrel one, with a mainsheet and blocks)
Mast: tba. (Kitchen scales wouldn’t go that high)
Cboard: 2540 (Bloodaxe short board)
Hull: 49kg just with paint.
I’ll try and get the mast weighed when I do poppy this weekend (weather permitting) as I’ll have the class scaled tied up to the engine hoist to do so.
