From "Larry Ludwig"
"If you are dealing with a 16 ounce hull, how much weight/advantage can be gained by using a lighter hull?
If you will test the boats with different keels, with as much as a 3 oz difference between hulls... you will find that there is virtually no noticeable, or measureable difference... and at that weight (3oz) you are 4 times the typical amount of error that would occur from weighing the keel while attached to the boat. This method has been used at many many regattas for 30 years and works well enough."
