| Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28. "My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton. My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell. So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

The pink slip for my trail rite trailer says it is 875 pounds.
:: Thanks so much - that's really helpful!!
::
:: :: The weight of your trailer can be figured out by looking
:: :: at the VIN sticker located on the frame of your trailer.
:: :: Locate the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) on the
:: :: sticker. The GVWR is the empty weight of the trailer
:: :: plus the capacity that the trailer is rated for (also
:: :: known as the MAX GVCC ).
:: ::
:: :: I have a single axle trailer, as per the Vin sticker the
:: :: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating GVWR is 3500 lbs. The
:: :: Maximum load carrying capacity MAX GVCC is 2,800 lbs.
:: ::
:: :: Therefore, doing simple math, you can figure out what
:: :: the empty weight of the trailer is by taking the GVWR –
:: :: MAX GVCC = empty weight of the trailer. For my trailer ,
:: :: the GVWR is 3500 bs. minus the MAX GVCC of 2800 lbs
:: :: equals 700 lbs empty weight.
