Projection 762 Help please?

I've been digging through my old certificates. Initially standard hull data was
used (1300kg) but it was weighed in 2002 and the empty weight was
1240kg. The boat had 68kg added to the keel and now weighs 1308.

This is my first owned boat so I'm not great with certificates yet. What does
IRC Disp mean? Mine is 1780

Garth, unfortunatly Falmouth is the same week as the Fastnet. If current plans work out we'll wave as we go past (it won't be Zulu, though!  )

On the IRc front, my current feeling is that the 762 would benefit from a masthead symmetrical kite (about 60 sqm) and a smaller headsail, probably a light 100% No 1. The rating will go up a bit, and as the recieved wisdom is that in IRC overlapping headsails are 'expensive' and kite area is 'cheap' it should be both more fun and worth it. I'd be very skeptical about adding more weight to the boat anywhere.

Anybody got any thoughts on this?

Pumper Nickel is a Cowes regular in the Sportsboat Fleet.  However, why don't you do some real damage to the Credit Card and follow Cowes with Falmouth Week (12-17 Aug 07) - the extra few miles would be worth it and there are plenty of good campsites nearby.

If Brys & Zulu, both showing some interest were able to attend, that could make 6 of us and provide a real opportunity for a Projection Class.

Mmmmmmmmmm ... sounds like my 2.3 Honda might need to be upgraded !

The crew have agreed to do Cowes week , which is a long way from here ( Northumberland ) , just booked a caravan ... wow! they certainly know how to damage your credit card . There will be a good number of SB's going from up here , would be nice if another 762 was there , I've heard there is normally at least one attends.       

      I have a H'cap of 95.98 from our local NERR system , measurements were from another boat in the system , my pole is a little longer and Hyde measure big kite at 45 sq m . Will be getting SBR when the 2007 info is avail.                  P 9309  ,  E 3630  , LL  8973 ,  LP 3914  ,  J 2609  ,  SP 3100  ,  BOW OH 152 , STR OH 552  ,  DISP 1480 ,  MAX DR 1707  ,  I don' understand all these numbers , I'm sure some of you lot will .

At our regattas we get moorings and craneage in with entry cost , the Club owns its own crane , travel hoist , pontoon and fore and aft  moorings . Some say we are a little spoilt , my seasons moorings last year were under £200 , we are now attracting SB's from the midlands to our events ... we are so far away from you lot in the south though !

where do you sail 'some bloke' and whats the boat name? Are you thinking of competing in SailEast events this year?

As regards the 8hp, i think you are right with it being harder to move around, but its only a couple of kilos heavier. Supposively the fisherman love the 9.8hp as that too is the same weight as the 8hp at only 26kg. We have found last year that we had to sail and motor flat out to catch the tide gates for some of our deliveries which gets very tiresome. White Lightning, another projectiong from our club takes another boat with them which they sometimes use for towing. We have 4 events during the year, all over 60miles away, there and back over a weekend, plus the racing. Start to rack up some serious mileage!
