or any ingenious methods for weighing it while it's on a trailer...

Need to know for Round the Island race entry form - so hopefully someone's already filled it in?

Bill Parker would have us believe it weighs 1950 lbs. You might feel justified in adding a bit for toothbrush etc.

Might just call in at a weighbridge on the way to the sea!

Was trying to devise some way of measuring it, based on knowing the position of the C of G in relation to the trailer axis, and the weight on the jockey wheel!

Gerry, pleased to see you have signed on. Maybe you could join the Association's Round the Island Race (Cowes to Bembridge) on Saturday May 12th? 2x 21s in 2006. Clifford Miller

My "21", No 80, stripped completely, but with mast and its ropes, weighed 1025 Kgs - 2260 lbs. A bit more reinforcement in doubtful places?
