[quote=CatFan57]Okay, thanks for the replies guys, learned a lot. Checked out the Tornado rules and SCHRS data page linked by samc99us. Being fairly new, I was assuming any particular make/model of boat would have a standard weight and that's the end of it. So I'm gathering that's not always the case, that the weights shown in the specs are minimums, different builds can lead to different weights, and in the future I should check the class rules for the official minimum weight, as some websites can have erroneous listings. Also sounds like maybe it's a little nip & tuck out there when buying newer technology whether you're getting something that will hold up over time or not.
[quote=ctcataman]I sail a Marstrom Tornado. Easy to move boat. It may have to do with bow shape. Newer boats have more bow volume, meaning more mass.
Hopefully it will come to SHBCC soon for the Statue race. You guys have a nice club.[/quote]
Hope you make it, as it would be a pleasure to put an eyeball on the renowned Tornado. There is not one at the club.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by CatFan57 on Nov 06, 2018 - 07:43 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
