If a F16 boat is measured to be underweight (below 104 in 1-up or 107 in 2-up mode) then the owner may add a corrector weight (of no more then 7 kg in total) to the craft to become F16 weight compliant again.


Example 1 ; say my boat weights 105 kg in 2-up mode, then I may add 2 kg of lead to my mainbeam to reach 107 kg and thus be regarded as F16 weight compliant for 2-up sailing.

I this owner removed his 2 kg jib + associated gear package then he would need a corrector weight of AT LEAST 1 kg to be 1-up compliant. Or he can just use the 2-up corrector weight of 2kg he already has for sailing 2-up and just accept sailing 1 kg overweight.
