Weight

In order to get an approximate weight of the boat, I've used two chain hoists and two 10,000 lb "fish scales" to lift the port side hull off it's cradles.  To find the total weight of the boat, I add the two measurements then multiply by 2.

weight of the port hull bow sling :    2700 #

weight of the port hull stern sling:   2750 #  


So........  2700 + 2750 = 5450 

              5450 x 2 = 10,900 #   

To reach design waterline displacement of 17000, this will allow 6,100 lbs for rig, sails, tankage and cruising gear.
