The technical committee met by telephone conference to discuss this issue. We agreed to a short term solution by allowing boats with out a suitable stove to carry 18 lbs of lead or a small stove and lead to equal 18 lbs. in the location of the stove. A 2 burner stove (Origo) weighs 17 lbs 14 ozs. All boats even the newer models were required to have at least a 2 burner stove. However the 2 burner stove would not fit in the newer boats. Hopefully the issue of the stove requirement will be addressed by the J30 Board of Govenors this winter.
