CKD Boats cc Optimist kits are weight ok

We know from experiance that our Optimist boats will fit in the required 32 to 34 kg weight limit,they tend to be lighter than GRP Optimists too.Mail in from Boyd in Zimbabwe,who took two of our kits reads as follows:


The Optimists build was successful although I did find getting the daggerboard fore and aft measurements accurate a little tricky. It took about four months for both boats. They are fast and light and the envy of many.

Note,we now cut the exact outer profile of both the rudder and dagger board,leaving only edge  shaping as is allowed in the rules.
                                                          
Roy,Thanks. They both were a little over 32.5 kg without buoyancy bags etc. Haven’t weighed them with the buoyancy bags etc in yet.
