Thanks

Also check for local variations in gravity.
You have no idea how big a problem that is out here! Gotta be careful before you walk out your font door!
But seriously, check the weather report every day, just to make sure you don't need your concrete boots that day.
I don't weigh the Laser's I sail. I assume that if the weight is good enough for it to the leave the factory, and its less then 10 years old, and dry, it's good enough.
Also check for local variations in gravity.
Don't mees with an engineer on gravitational theories or you'll get the horn!
Actually this can be a real problem in heavier boats because the percentage change is significant enough to matter.
Shosholoza and other America's Cup yachts weighed in too heavy when they arrived in Sweden for the start of the Malmo-Skane Louis Vuitton Acts in 2005 because the force of gravity is stronger in Sweden than in Spain, where the boats' keels were optimized for maximum allowed weight.
Curious, sailchris, it seems, I have foreseen that a bit, that makes me thinking.... read here:

Not really, since the Malmo-Skane Louis Vuitton Acts were in 2005
and your post was made on Dec 3, 2007.
Yes, that's correct, I take more care of a date next time, sorry.
