Exactly, with that extra 7kg removed, it will be much easier to move the boat about.

Hence our need to find that lead! If there is 7kg lurking somewhere it should bring it out about the right weight. Give or take a bit of water!! |

As the other member of the crew I know the boat is heavy as it is a converted penultimate. Its measurement certificate shows it has been weighted as a penultimate so would be overweight. We are purly interessted in TASA events so remeasuring may not be an issue. There is a cover to the daggerboard slot so will have a look there. |

the lead may of been taken out but the boat has not been reweighed officially since the class has dropped its min weight since your boat was built. i have found that at pow they weigh boats remove lead or if unlucky add lead to meet class min weight but don't up date certs. the main reason is due to to tolerance of balances and conditions and time. I know that the uk measurers at the nats want to get their own boat sorted and go drinking rather than update paper work. speak to a friendly measurer and get you boat weighed then take stens suggestion. If your boati is still a peni the old weight may apply check the class website and rules about that. Gav H

The howlett 1b had them under the cover that went around the dagger board and back to the mainsheet jammer. I think your boat is a turner built morrison 7. If it has coving over the daggerboard slot try under there.

If you get on the 14 mailing list then you might find a previous owner or measurer who knows where the lead is...

Dont forget if you do remove your correctors you may need to get the boat re-measure and a new certificate issues otherwise some unsporting person will protest.

I would guess close to the dagger board, check around the hatches.in Boot of the car is the best place for lead. you could also save weight, with lighter or tappered ropes, fittings possible over complicated systems have a look at some new boats for ideas, carbon racks? I14's are normally quite well optimised but its worth weighing all the parts of your boat to see if you can save any weight, checking for possible gear failure while your at it. It might just be damp, dry it out in the living room 7kg over weight isnt the end of the world may be its built strong so it wont break,Rig setting will make a bigger difference, sail the boat flatter and go faster. Hope you find the lead for the quick solution. |

. a strip or cotton rag in the bung hole is a good trick for drawing the water out.|
