ducman 0 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I need to work out the righting moment of my 7.6 metre keeler. The problem is I don't know the weight or even the boats design. Can anyone hazard a guess based on the following details, big ask but worth a shot. Maybe someone owns a similarly constructed boat. Length 7.6m, Beam 2.5m. Hull constructed of 25mm edge glued cedar with only three 20mm plywood frames, glassed on the outside only. Plywood deck and low cabin top. Minimal fit out, plywood berths and small cabinet for sink. No engine, water tanks or electrics The fin keel is 1 metre deep (Draws 1.45m) about 1 metre at the root 600mm at the base, lead starting 400mm below root Keel stepped fractional rig (Etchells section) 11.3 metres Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chippie 6 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Put a photo up. Someone's sure to identify it unless it's something really unusual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,235 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Yup, I agree with Chippie - show us a pic. Otherwise it is measurements and weights, and or a pull down test.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
