We must all be very careful when interpreting the Global Challenge data.

I had my own boat measured in may when it was completely dry and clean. It was found to be 121.8 kg, when its weight was checked at the Global challenge the scales said 124.7 kg. Now there is no way that my boat "gained" 3 kg in weight due to the gear. It was exactly the same boat as in may.

A few kg swing is easily possible. I saw the same happen to some other boats that had been measured earlier (and were lighter the first time)

With respect to publicizing the measurements of others that is a decision that befalls the GC of which I am not part.
