Does anyone know what "stripped wieght" means on an official Tornado Certificate of Measurement ? Does this just include the hulls and beams?
What does a good stripped platform weight these days? My Reg weighs 280 without the correction weights.
What is the minimum mast weight on the Tornado? Mine came with a correction weight on it.
Would anyone take a guess at what a Reg White with marstrom mast, cboards and rudders would weigh?
Thanks, I tried to download the official tornado weights and measures pdf file, but the file appears to be corrupt.
If you are referring to an older boat which is still in the 'old non spin' configuration then from memory the rules were (I am NZ Measurer but have not had to weigh a boat for a couple of years):
Minumum weight of 127 kg applied to:
Basic Platform (beamed up, tramp on) plus:
Centreboards
Rudders
Hatch covers
Traveller car and rope
Tiller bar
Reg White mast base (riveted to beam)
But excluding:
compass
jib wire traveller
jib traveller sliders
jib and mainsheet blocks except barberhaulers
sheets and blocks
all standing rigging
downhaul/cunningham
I have owned three Reg boats of varying ages and all were within 2kg either way of weight. If you have Marstrom rudders, that helps to get a boat underweight as the stock Reg rudders were overweight.
Hope this helps
