Can someone shed some light on the lead weights located in various places in my 1979 J-24 Hull 1433. Not sure if they are placed in the correct configuration and I believe they are suppose to be fixed to the hull. Thanks

I pulled this out of the rule book

3.7 Weight for Racing
3.7.1 The Basic Yacht Weighed Dry shall be not less than 1270kg. Yacht must be submitted for weigh-in to a measurer (Rule 2.7.1) in a dry condition in the following configuration:
a) as specified for the Builders Weight (Rule 2.7.4).
b) with all spars, standing and running rigging as defined in Rule 3.5, items 2 to 6 inclusive.
c) with installed outboard motor bracket (Rule 3.8.10) and permanently fixed compass(es) (Rule 4.1.3).
d) with all other permanently fixed optional equipment permitted under Rule 6. The dry weight (without additional correctors) shall be recorded on the Measurement Form, Part D as Item 28.
3.7.2 a) When corrector weights are required to be added, they shall consist of lead ingots located in the hull as shown on
Corrector Weight Placement and Interior Layout Plan A.
c) Half the required weight shall be attached amidships on the forward bulkhead located approximately 1000mm forward of the main bulkhead. Two quarters of the required weight in approximately equal ingots shall be attached under each moulded berth to the forward side of the aft cabin bulkhead located approximately 2450mm aft of the main bulkhead.
c) For the requirements of Rule 2.7.4 the lead ingots shall be permanently attached, totally encapsulated, distinctively marked, and weight shall be recorded on the Measurement Form Part B as Item 3.
d) For the requirements of Rule 3.7.1 the lead ingots shall be attached and sealed with a strap of resinated glass cloth.
When required in addition to the permanent builders correctors Rule 2.7.4, the lead ingots shall be divided into four approximately equal weights fixed on the outboard side of the builders correctors (3.7.2c), and the total corrector weight required to comply with Rule 3.7.1 shall be recorded on the Measurement Form Part D as Item 29.
