Fin - i am a stupidly light person(so is the crew) and have calculated out my rack setting/lead.
 and the way the 5k forum shows how to make baby bars costs a quite a bit


adam- yet to find out...

Hi Ratface

on the laser5000 forum, this  topic was just raised in December 2007.You'll find  information here on how to construct  racks;

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/5000classassociation/message/5 64

If you've other  5000 boat related issues,  questions etc; by all means feel free to post on the  classs forum.  Generally a  helpfull bunch. 

40kg of lead ...  this  sounds extreme and unnecessary.  The  class website have the charts for working out the  rack settings  you need to use. Not sure what size/shape/length you and your crew are, but it'd be worth calculating and setting racks correctly if going to race.  if set real far out - baby-racks would be  handy. 

Cheers

It's cheating. It's against the rules. Don't even joke about it....

Why worry yourself. Find your self some netting and use that! Much lighter and cheaper and easier to replace etc Cheers, Alex

That's what i said
