We measured stacked weak lensing cluster masses for a sample of 1325 galaxy clusters detected by the RedGOLD algorithm in the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey W1 and the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey at 0.2<z<0.5, in the optical richness range 10<λ<70. After a selection of our best richness subsample (20<λ<50), this is the most comprehensive lensing study of a ∼ 100% complete and ∼ 90% pure optical cluster catalogue in this redshift range, with a total of 346 clusters in ∼164

We test three different mass models, and our best model includes a basic halo model, with a Navarro Frenk and White profile, and correction terms that take into account cluster miscentering, non-weak shear, the two-halo term, the contribution of the Brightest Cluster Galaxy, and an a posteriori correction for the intrinsic scatter in the mass-richness relation. With this model, we obtain a mass-richness relation of M_ 200/M_=(14.48±0.04)+(1.14±0.23)(λ/40) (statistical uncertainties). This result is consistent with other published lensing mass-richness relations. When compared to X-ray masses and mass proxies, we find that on average weak lensing masses are ∼ 10% higher than those derived in the X-ray in the range 2×10^13M_<E(z) M^X_ 200<2×10^14M_, in agreement with most previous results and simulations. We also give the coefficients of the scaling relations between the lensing mass and X-ray mass proxies, L_X and T_X, and compare them with previous results.
