Spindrift 11N weight

[kmrmike]

Is there someone that has built a Spindrift 11N and knows how much it weighs or is willing to weigh there's?

I would like to do an actual comparison of wood construction vs. composite construction.

I need an actual scale reading so I can compare apples to apples. Without CB and rudder

mine came out to 130lbs, each half was 65lbs. but the outer hull was glassed and has additional floatation in the forward section

Thanks for the info. Are you set up for sailing? If so how does she perform?

      Any others with the weight of there Spindrifts would be appreciated...Mike

Sorry Ray, no idea, we don't really get a selection of wood species of marine ply in this part of the world, some people I know say it's Lauan based. we're pretty much happy with with what we get, and it's only 7 to 10 US$ per sheet (5mm).  ;D

Yes, it's rigged for sailing, I can't really say how well she performs as she's the first dinghy i've sailed on. It's now rigged with a polytarp sail as i'm still saving up for one from Graham.

Joke Only-

Pinoy's Spindrift was built of the famous Spruce-Pine-Fir that only grows in lumberyards.

Any idea what a sheet of what you used, weighed?  If memory serves me, Okume is about 20LB/6mm sheet and Merianti is about 24Lbs.  I am building my Spindrift 12 with Okume.  B&B's web site says the 12 should weigh from 95 to 120LBs, and the 11N should weigh 88 to 110 LBs.  My target is 100LBs or there abouts for my 12S
