    Just to clarify, we are weighing the hull with the modifications made only. No keel, and empty of rigging, mechanical or electrical equipment.

      My estimate includes The Inspector. Let me know if she/he will not be in the weigh-in process. If not, I will submit a modified weight.

    I was so pleased when I saw you use the jack to get the frame glued tight to the hull. I was looking at it and thinking "lifting that or kicking in wedges isn't going to work". Thank goodness you're ahead of me. Matt, your patience is admirable. All this work that, on the face of it, doesn't progress the build. But, you get on with it just the same. That, or Yanni's editing skills are great at getting rid of the frustrations. Keep going, I'm loving watching the channel. The best wishes for the birth.

    Neat project. My guess is about 12000 lbs. I kind of wondered whether it would not have been easier just to make the cradles out of sheets of OSB, cut to a hull shape template to fil the hull, and glued and screwed together to get the desired thickness and strength? The inside (where the hull rests) could be lined with foam or old carpet.

  • @RobPattinson-ui2qh

    22,604 lbs.... minus the 10,000 lb keel... is 12,604 lbs. Loved Alan's comment about "futzing." That's a highly technical term for what you have to do to the boat before you can go "putzing" around the bay. Congratulations to both of you! You have very interesting timing for when you decide to build a "cradle."

    Awesome idea Matt and very clever approach with cradles. I assume you will have a load cell under all four corners Not only will you be able to weigh it but also balance up when adding the heavy stuff. Not going to bet on weight but I bet RAN sailing and Artic seacamel will follow your lead.

    Gotta love shrink tape. Has a lot more uses than shrinkwrap. When I coached high school sailing I would use it to quickly seal a blown out 420 auto bailer. Just capsize the boat, wipe the hull dry, and slap some tape over it.
    Also my guess is: 12,500 pounds

    OSB sheet orientation relative to frame affects strength differently in a diaphragm application. Your cradle is strong in shear but perhaps less in downward load

    • @belledetector
      @belledetector Před 24 dny +3

      OSB sucks and Matt knows. The frame structure itself is enough to hold the boat. The OSB just keeps everything in alignment..

    • @BunkerMentality
      @BunkerMentality Před 24 dny +2

      There is no downward load on the OSB. In fact, the primary load applied to the OSB will be sideways as the weight of the boat, combined with the angled surface, will want to push the vertical supports outwards.

    It’s going to seem light with no ballast rigging or power system. I’m going to guess it’s current weight to be 13683lbs. And I’ll bet the balance is pretty darn good at this point.
