Title: All Up Weight?
Post by: Ben Howett on March 18, 2011, 01:05:23 PM

Quick question for you guys - Has anybody had a boat on the scales including all the unmeasured weight?

Im basically looking for a 'ready to sail' weight minus crew - and unfortunately I dont have access to any of my sails/spars etc to go out and weigh them seperately.

Thanks in advance

Beans was 70 exactly when we put it on in Weymouth 07, hull being down to 50, the heaviest individual item was the main which was 5 alone

Apparently the GT60 was called that because it had an all up sailing weight of 60kg [sic]

not unless some of the parts were weightless or even possibly fitted with anti-gravity.
Or was it painted with Blubber?
The GT part is accurate though.
MEOW!

Thanks Matt - I had been guessing around 75-80 based on my older boat so Its good to get a reality check on these things.

Much appreciated!

We intend to re weigh Eleanor then weigh all her individual parts to find out her all up sailing weight.

Shiny Beast was originally 58kg + 10 kg lead = 68kg

and later on with mods and bigger spars, sails etc was 63kg + 7kg lead = 70kg

Eleanor weighs around 70Kg all up.
