Good point. Motor plus fuel plus corrector weight must be between 50-125lbs.
The problem with relying on the fuel weight (i.e. keeping enough fuel to satisfy
the rule) is that it has to be in the aft lazarette which isn't helpful as
ballast.
And yes, I like the extra hp too, motoring all the way from the Estuary (until
we get out to the racecourse and have to do the motor dance)

I believe it is motor, fuel and ballast. So if you were to carry about 4
gallons of fuel, it would be sufficient.
I agree with Michael though, moving a 60 lb motor can be onerous, especially in
a heavy breeze. However, the extra hp has gotten me out of some sticky
situations, where I was stuck in a 4+ knot ebb by the golden gate with no wind.

Yes; class rules say the motor (and corrector weights) have to be minimum 50
pounds. So a 28 pound motor would need 22 punds of lead mounted down below
(best place would be at the base of the bulkhead below the base of the mast
compression post)
As a guy who has to wrestle a 50lb 6 horse up and down the companionway each
time, a light motor plus a corrector weight sounds pretty good.

Do you have to carry ballast with a light motor?
