Someone had been making claims of F18 being typically 5 kg underweight.

Sounds like stretch to me to blame water in the hulls for a 189 - 175 = 13 kg weight difference.

Apart from that everything else is the same as the data taken at the GC 2007 but in that case that special someone claimed that the producers were to blame.

I guess the water at Zandvoort is alot less dense then in South Africa! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
