I have a keel bulb that weighs 952g. or 2lb,1.6oz. I guess this is the latest rev. Question, what is the average weights of the newest keel bulbs and what is...
Unfortunately not all keels are removable as this is not a requirement of the class rules. I don't think it realistic to expect a base of hundreds of existing...
Those are all good points, and I didn't mean to step on any toe's, it sounds like it is time to determine a standard for sure. But is there any manufacturer...
I have large toes, I hardly noticed. Good thing you avoided that ingrown on the left Big Toe. Yes, I believe there are many parties that could cast lead bulbs...
Here is a thought. What about if the rules were modified so the bulb is left to the skippers discretion? The kit supplied fin must be used and the combination...
I think we are making progress here....let's keep this dialogue going. My opinion........(please add yours)..... Rewrite the rules to something like this..... ...
I missed something...did Thundertiger stop making lead bulbs? Did they start making steel bulbs instead? I must have missed what has happened with the bulb...
George, I purchased a kit in July 2008 and it came with a standard bulb (pure lead). Then I received a newer kit in December which had a new style bulb. My...
I'm sorry to see my reply was posted as a new topic and also displayed in the original post.( very confusing ) I replied to a post through IE. I will try...
is it really slower? have we done tank tests to prove that a slightly larger and heavier bulb is slower on all points of sail? Yes sailing and not just...

Would you mind explaining the whole issue? Is thunder tiger no longer going to sell victorias with lead bulbs? Thank you, Alex Tupinamba Vic 1076 RG 65 #26...
Correct. There have been NO lead bulbs included in kits for months now. TT changed to a steel/cast iron bulb because of shipping restrictions to Europe. Lead...
I am in favor of class certified bulb RESOLUTION TO THE BULB SOURCING IS MAJOR ISSUE, removable keel requirement for weight verification if needed, I will go...
There ARE other options. 1.) Allow each skipper to cast his own design as long as it is not over a max weight or depth, like the IOM class. Suppliers will also...
Hew, I think option 1, but all kit fin/bulb combinations that fit into min/max weight rules as well as draft are legal. That would allow old, new, custom,...
I think the key point of your post is that they be removable so they can be measured. Currently it is not mandatory that they be removable. The kit uses a...
As I suggested yesterday, the rule should require all NON-factory keels to be removable. This protects old lead keels that are 'welded' into the hull. Also I...
Day 2 was the Heart of Dixie regatta and was cancelled due to the weather. The RCMYC will attempt to reschedule the regatta for later this year, probably in...
I just spent several hours developing an Excel spreadsheet to estimate the speed difference for Victorias with the original lead bulb vs. an iron bulb that has...
