If you are in the NE region we can talk to our sales team and see if
they will accept. Heck, a Frers is a Frers, and a sail is a sail!

Welcome Tom,=20

Just be aware that class association dues for the rich guys with the
bigger boats are MUCH higher.

	Gentlemen,
	=20
	There is a spy amongst you. I recently bought a Frers 36, (a
slightly older, slightly bigger and more IOR orientated version of your
own boats), and came across your email group during a "Frers" websearch
and immediately signed up. Although all this talk of one-design details,
and custom sail deals does not apply to me, the discussion on bulkhead
separations was informative, and I have enjoyed all your banter and feel
somewhat like a close cousin. Just wanted to announce myself, and if you
don't mind continue to enjoy your comments.
	Best Regards

All this talk of stoves and weights is interesting but what I really
want to know is: =20
=20
When going up wind in 20 to 25 kts do you find it best to use the #3
with full main or reef the main and carry a bigger headsail?  In the tug
of war between a flat boat and a boat that points as high as possible,
which is better?
=20
Has anyone ever used a #4?

	Ah, good point. I stand corrected!  Always check with your local
authority! Remember we do have a designed base Weight of 9000 lbs. I
don't know how many have been weighed but going below that would be a
clear cut PHRF violation as well.=20

		I have to clarify that even PHRF discourages
modifications.  There are serveral hundred pounds the previous owner and
I always wanted to strip out of Vapor Trail but never did because of the
spirit of the "as-built" statement in the PHRF rules, that combined with
never wanting to hear any excuses from the cutthroat SOBs we raced
against up here.

		Here is the excerpt from <http://phrfne.org/>
PHRFNE.org:
		"It is the intention of PHRF-NE to handicap boats in an
as-built configuration. PHRF-NE will adjust the handicaps of boats that
have been altered from the as- built configuration to completely
compensate for any expected speed advantage. Variations must be reported
to the Chief Handicapper so that the Fleet can be more accurately
handicapped."

				Frank,

				The weight would be 40 lbs and is on the
opposite side of the bulkhead of the ice box. I sure we would figure out
something if you came to a one design event. We definitely want an
inclusive fleet but want to protect all owners against someone who just
wants to beat the rules. If you race only PHRF then the one design
prescriptions go out the window. However to maintain resale and protect
the future owner if they want to do one design we suggest keeping
changes modest and reversable.=20

I think Arthur hits the spirt of the rule along with the letter of it.
However, on my boat I not only didn't get the water heater, I don't even
have the shelf he's talking about so yikes what kind of weight would I
be adding.  Anyone know what the water heater weighs? =20
=20
Looks like I may not truck the boat up to Newport anytime soon.

	Looking at the rules as spelled out in the Word doc on the site:

=09
	5.
	If the hot water heater (15 lbs) or fuel tank (40 lbs, @1/4
full) or oven (40 lbs excluding two burner stove top) have been
permanently moved, removed, or not obtained when the boat was built, a
weight equal to the item shall be affixed in its intended location
during all racing events.

	A few important principles come out.=20
	1. It does not allow that the stove can be removed, only the
oven. We can discuss how to handle a missing stove in another thread if
necessary.=20
	2. The oven is assumed to be replaceable with 40 lbs of weight.=20
	3. Substituted weight must be affixed in the intended location.=20
	4. Anyone want to pull out their fuel tank?

	#3 means that hot water heater substitute weight for example,
cannot be consolidated to the bilge, but must be in the lazarette on the
shelf where the heater would have been. With regards to the oven I
suspect it is generally agreed that the weight can be placed in the
space below the stove not necessarily bolted to the bottom of the stove.
However it should be noted that safety, not only the letter of the rules
suggest (require?) that the weights be affixed so that in the event of a
knock down that they do not become life threatening projectiles.=20

	We need to be mindful that the one design rules are designed to
ensure that an owner who cruises the boat can remain competitive with
another boat which is used exclusively for racing. It is not designed to
be a strategy for removing a bunch of distributed weight and
consolidating it centerline below the waterline.=20

	Thoughts?
