Hello Maryann,

Any race would be able to have a weight in. The Fleet has been requiring a weigh in at Nationals. The Fleet is to self monitor and adhere to the 880 lb weight limit at All One Design events.

:: Which races require a weigh-in? Is it just the
:: nationals, or any race in which there is a separate E27
:: class?
::
:: :: Peggy,
:: ::
:: :: I would like to put this motion for the national's fleet
:: :: meeting agenda. This is the modified for the express27
:: :: weight limit J105 fleet rule which is much more flexible
:: :: and should meet everyone needs.

:: :: -------------------------------------------------

:: ::
:: :: The maximum crew weight (in swimming apparel) for
:: :: one-design racing is 880 with
::
:: :: no limit on numbers of crew. An Owner who is the sole
:: :: Driver for a regatta may elect a weight of 100 kg (220
:: :: lbs.) for that regatta, in which case he or she shall
:: :: not be subject to weigh-in or other weight check. If the
:: :: sailing instructions require a weigh-in prior to the
:: :: start of a regatta, a boat complying with the weight
:: :: restrictions at weigh-in shall not otherwise be subject
:: :: to a weigh-in during or after the regatta, except for
:: :: weighing substitute crew.
