I only put in the non-working stove on one-design races.
It's at least 30 pounds. When I want to heat something up I bring along a carry-on stove of two pounds. I have a newer model boat and I probably carry a lot more weight than the older models.
I really don't understand why the rules can't be eased a little with regards to the stove. I bought a solenoid for $150 only to see it rust away in two years.
Let's get rid of the stove for the racers ( who is using that thing anyway) and try to be a bit lenient to racers who also do phrf.
I think if the rules are a bit eased more boats are willing to do one-design.
