Actually the lightest boat was 99 kg but carried a block of lead to make it compliant. Wouter Yes but there must be some personal fulfillment for you to withhold the details. Why don’t you just kill the chase and tell us what you know (or presume to know)?. Thanks..<img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Its not Wouters responsibility to post this info, it would be the international body's responsibility.
FYI - My understanding was that NED111 was 105.8kgs, most of the 2 up Vectorworks boats were 110-112kgs & My boat was 111.7kgs & there were the odd F16 that were 120, 132 & 137kgs. But then again thats what i presum to know. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
The difference in performance between these boats really only depended on rig tuning & obviously the sailors hanging onto the strings & tiller.
If you guys are so intent on finding out the boat & skipper weights then pester the GC not individuals.

The weight difference between their helms ranged from just under 70kgs(154lbs) to just over 110kgs(242lbs). So the actual weights of the each boat varied quite considerably but the pecking order basically remained. MP*MULTIHULLS | | | Re: Fly on the Wall at the F16 Global Challenge

Posts: 13 Netherlands | Hi Phill,
tx for your reports on the GC and some exellent pictures. Had a good time on the Nam Race as well.
I really enjoyed being part of the GC, had a great time and I am looking forward to the next international F16 event.
Besides all the competitors who took the effort to come to Holland and made this event a succes, I do like to say that without Hans and all the other people involved this would not have been possible.
Thank you all !!
Regards, Frank
Flying Hull

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.

Obviously no one who was at the event feels that it is any big deal and certainly no conspiracy. If you needed to know so badly, then you should have taken the effort to attend the event and seen for yourself. | | | Re: Fly on the Wall at the F16 Global Challenge

Have you approached the Governing Council and ask them for this data officially ?
All we doing here is preventing wild rumours from spreading.
If you want to know this data, or feel a need to know it, then contact the GC directly. They are the proper authority when dealing with such matters.

I don't think it is being withheld. It's more likely that none of the people on this forum actually wrote down all the figures, and they're reluctant to post inaccurate data. As has already been said, the only boat that was right down to weight was Hans', which is VWM hulls with a carbon mast. New examples of the VWM Blade and Stealth, and the Oz Blade were close. As has already been revealed, the Viper weighed in at 137kg, but I wouldn't take that figure too seriously. The boat was pulled together quickly for the event, and a I believe that more components were pinched off the F18 than is planned for production boats. If you want full details on what production Vipers will be like, get in touch with AHPC. Paul | | |
