Ha! This is funny. This just adds so much to the argument that no matter what you set a weight for a class it doesn't matter. the ability to measure the weight is too variable. The weight is dependent on the manufacturer and their reputation to weigh and report it accurately.
note: i only responded with the hurt feelings routine to get your attention. I just want to know how much my boat weighs. I have no plan to weigh boats before races. in the Open 20 class i want to know how big your sails are and how long your boat is. lets race!!!!!!


The F18 scales with four measurement pads wired back to a main processing unit is very accurate. If I recall, it's well within 1/10 of a lb.
