Just checking some advertised weights for British "Heavies": Pintail, 50 lbs, or 22.7 kg. Romany Explorer 56 lbs, or 25.4 kg. Compared with: CD Gulfstream, glass 51 lbs, 23.1 kg CD Caribou S, glass, 50 lbs 22.7 kg QCC Q600x, glass, 50 lbs, 22.7 kg Seaward Endeavour, 55 lbs, 24.9 kg Dagger Cortez, glass, 60 lbs, 27.2 kg and plastic boats: Prijon Seayak, 58 lbs, 26 kg. Perception Carolina 64 lbs, 29 kg (w/o rudder) Comparisons and generalizations are odious, so I won't go on, but the British boats don't appear to be generally heavier, if at all.
