I believe some are using the total weight replacement of the stove and oven
as 40 lbs.
I cannot race one design/class here as I am the only boat.
Most PHRF regs stipulate a stove and most competitors have a single burner
stove that meets the requirement.
While the class rules are commendable perhaps they should be reviewed to
help keep the boats more competitive where most of them now race in PHRF.
Most boats I race against have no water heater.
I'm not sure what the lead trim blocks are but they are not in my boat
unless they have been glassed over.
With a PHRF rating of 108 in some areas perhaps removal/revision of some of
the equipment requirements should be looked at to help keep the boats more
competitive under PHRF.
I'm not considering removing the stove/oven as a weight saving measure more
to replace it with something that I use and build a cabinet underneath it.
I haven't used an oven on a boat for years.
Regards
Rod
