The papertiger class 4.267m built in ply has a class weight of 50kg i have built one of these in ply at 43kg (low tec) we are building the RGcats in NZ (mid tec)these have to be easy to transport ,rig,launch,sail,have fun, for the kids any heavy dog!!!! will not get the right message across sailing is fun and easy. i want my son to be able to get the reward of preparing and launching the boat himself.not having to rely on somone else.my opinion for what it is whorth 45kg min it wont stop heavyer being compeditive. by the way will be building a ply vershion on the gig to compare
