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 fin. |

Hi Ratface apologies, hadn't fully understood your need for extra weight. Apparently weights can be fitted to boats... there's a retaining-bar in the cockpit for them. Might be worth posting in the 5000 forum - someone might have a few weights kicking around. If you're getting bars made elsewhere (P&B!)- would be great to see the final thing.... there's definite interest in the class. By the way, some laser5000s are congregating soon for racing:
(Not dead yet !!!) you'd be welcome. (I don't think I will be making it myself unfortunately). All the best, fin. |

Ratface quote - Fin - i am a stupidly light person(so is the crew) I suppose this gives a new meaning to having a weight-problem. The only answer for you, is copious quantities of full fat Ale and pork scratchings, as well as extra pie-eating training !
