[quote=Edchris177]Our 5.0 is an '88. I have not weighed it, even using bathroom scales, it is definitely lighter than the '84 5.7.
Two of us, one on each beam picked it up carried it to the backyard fairly easily. Of course there was no rigging, mast, or rudders, but we couldn't do the with the 5.7. We will try to remember to put it on scales this fall, I'll let you know what it reads.
I agree with not totally believing the "max Speed" shown on the GPS. I always want to see it on a leg, even if it is only 50 meters. My Garmin usually shows the "max" at 1-2mph higher than any of the legs.
We have been blessed with 5 solid days of 20-30mph wind. It sat at 20 most of today. I did 20 miles, solo, under just the main, got a max leg of 19.8 mph from the 5.7[/quote]
