Lightweights
Rohan tells me his new Bladerider is coming out of the mould at 8.6kgs before painting.
I wonder where the other builders are putting all their excess carbon.
… and looking forward to seeing the boat on the Harbour in a few weeks. Maybe Matty Day or Luka will have their Prowlers out for a bit of two-boat comparison.
Update: Luka tells me the St George “Pre-Nationals” regatta will be on the 16-17 of Dec… since the Moths were uninvited to SIRS this year. Nice.

Mine came out at 9.2kg painted and there is just not much under a kilo of paint on there…

Maybe the 100mm less freeboard or else the others have learnt where the extra kg needs to go? Add 1-2kg for filler and paint, and there is not much difference. And the hull is still less than half of a moth’s total weight.
