Your data is not valid, same with your intepretation of the facts.

The Viper was 137 kg, no wonder the AVERAGE of all boats is much higher then class weight. That Viper alone added (137-107)/10 = 30 kg/10 = 3 kg to all other boats ON AVERAGE.

It is like taking the average of the following series of numbers


1, 1 , 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 10

The average is 1.9 kg while the vast majority of numbers is actually only 1. An error of 90 % simply because one boat is such an outlier.

Then we had of course my own boat at 121.8 kg doing much of the same damage to the AVERAGE of all boats and singlehanders.

Basically, one needs to have only a few outliers to make the AVERAGE weight over a whole fleet totally undependable as we call such a thing in mathematics.

Again, no support for your opinion that F16's are heavy B'stards or that the class rules minimum is not reflective of the fleet.

Macca you should have finished high school then you have known about this stuff.
