After the last IJspegel (10^th of December) the boat was put on the trailer and transported to Naarden. There a class representative re-weighed our mumm30.

The 18^th of December we received good news from England; our boat was too heavy and could lose some weight. The mumm30 is an one-design boat, thus all boats should have the same weight. The builder had placed some lead correction weights in our boat in order to get the required 1948 kg. Because our boat has got heavier during the last few years (two paint jobs and some repairs), we were now allowed to remove the led correction weights.

After two days of struggling, the last correction weight was finally removed on Sunday the 7^th of January. We also re-shaped the trailing edge of the keel, to prevent vibration of the keel at high speed. The repainting of the aft end of the keel required a small tent, to let the paint dry in a warm and dry environment.
