I go with the addition of weight to make a one-design target. Not sure why on a
29, but.... On a non C&C boat I raced on (one of the earlier ones of that make
built) there was 180 pounds of lead in the aft portion - to make the minimum -
because the later boats were built differently and weighed more.
And the story of having weight added and losing seconds and then taking it out
and losing more - a friend had an Andrews 26 with an inboard. It died, they
removed it and replaced it with an outboard - thus losing the prop, strut,
heavy motor, shaft, etc. And got a 3 second help in the PHRF department! Go
figure!

PHRF cheat weight.
Buddy of mine found about 150# of lead hidden under the floor of his boat
after he bought it.

Hi,
I am cleaning out my bilge, and tightening the keel bolts. In doing the
cleanout, I found a chuck of shaped lead (probably 20#) towards the front of
the bilge area. It is not attached to anything. It is angled to fit in the
bilge. Just curious if anyone may know the purpose of the chunk?
Thanks for your thoughts.
