J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum One Design Class Rules Standard & Optional Equipment Interpretation Discussions

Re stove weight - I remember that this was thoroughly discussed on the forum and BOG meeting where the vote was taken in 2008. Does the class rule listed under paragraph 5.3 answer your question on the stove weight?

stove (In lieu of the original stove a replacement single or double burner stove is allowed that fits where the original stove is located. Adjustments to mounting may be made to accommodate dimension variations, as long as the original intended location is maintained. The replacement stove may use alcohol or gas (butane, propane, etc.). The replacement stove and associated cover / cutting board with fuel shall weigh 18 pounds minimum with weights permitted to augment as required.)

On Rhapsody I have a fully functional single burner butane cartridge stove that is gimbled and has a weight on the bottom of the stove to keep the gimble level. The combo with stove, fuel cartridge, iron weight, cutting board and cooktop weighs 20 pounds.
