I weighed my Blade today...sloop rigged and hoisted it by a fish scale from the spi' pole. No bent poles here--as vertical compression on the pole handles the weight just fine <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Okay that wasn't really true! (For the enjoyment of Robi and Wouter) <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I did weigh it at the local weigh station (for trash hauls and such). Quite funny experience as the attendant thought I wanted to weigh the boat and trailer...No..No..just the boat. Apparently no one has ever wanted to weigh JUST THE BOAT.

I'm not sure this is helpful as the accuracy of the scales are +/- 20 lbs and hadn't been calibrated recently.

Weight was 260 lbs.

P.S. I know what some will think ... "but tback capsizes alot and probably had water in each hull". Inspected all four ports and no extra weight due to H20. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hmmmm...didn't check the mast though.
