Hi all
Would anyone know the weight of a Vega? I have been told that it's 3.2 tones but I saw one as being advertised as 4.4 tones? or am I confusing metric with imperial?

and displacement is the same as the weight isn't it?

and does anyone know what the ballast ratio is?

Cheers
Rob

Hi Rob

The unladen weight of the Vega is 2.2 tonne. Most are packed and will be
closer to 3 tonne.

The weight of the ballast is 915kg or 202 lb

Hope this helps.

WHOOPS ! Good morning Steve,
I think you dropped a zero there. 915kg works out to 2013 lbs. (ballast)
