Friend recently purchased an Albi...just wanted to check what the weight tolerance is..and what should be excluded when taking the measurement



Thanks

The new format rules say The weight of the hull in dry condition .............................. 109 kg
The weight shall be taken excluding any detachable floorboards and all portable equipment. The weight of the boat in dry condition .............................. 136 kg

Old format say the same thing with some more detail: The hull in dry condition, including correctors, if fitted, shall weigh not less than 109kg. This weight includes the keel band and essential fixed fittings which are normally screwed, glued or bolted in place and fixed buoyancy apparatus, but excludes the mast, boom, centreboard, rudder, detachable floor boards and other equipment. or
The sailing weight shall be not less than 136kg. This weight includes the hull, mast complete with standing and running rigging, mainsail, headsail, boom, sheets, rudder, tiller, centreboard and all normal fittings.
