This past Tuesday night I raced with my 10 yr old son and the conditions were such that we double trapped upwind and just walked away. I need to add corrector crew weights since our combined weight is 285#s. Class rules show I need to add 32.5#s. I was thinking of using dive belt weights. The class rules specifiy location and attachment and this may be difficult to acheive. Thoughts? Better yet pictures?
Class Rules:
7.1a Minimum Sailing Weight shall be the weight of the crew at registration, dressed in shorts / t-shirt or swim suit, and barefoot. Normal undergarments may also be worn with the aforementioned clothing.
1. The NACRA 20 Minimum Live Weight shall be 275lbs. consisting of a minimum of two (2) persons.
7.1b Minimum Sailing Weight shall be the Minimum Live Weight plus corrector weights if necessary.
1. The NACRA 20 Minimum Sailing Weight shall be 325lbs; however, for crews requiring more than 25lbs. plus 1/2 of the additional weight required need be carried.
7.1c Corrector Weights; corrector weights shall be attached to the outside of the main beam or within 1 foot aft of the main beam on or in the hulls or trampoline. Weights shall be securely attached to the boat and shall not be moved while racing. Attachment shall be with tape, or by tying with line led thru the weights. Screws, rivets, nuts and bolts are not allowed. Weights must be easily accessible and easy to remove for check-weighing.
