lindsay s Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Hi everyone I am looking for a set of lighter hulls, my mk 1 boat is bloody heavy. However I dont how heavy my hulls are, or the weight of a light hull.Does anyone know how much a light hull weighs? CheersLindsay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 My 1981 platform (hulls, beams, tramp and rudder system) is about 85kgs. This is quite light for a Mark2. Many Mark1 and 2s are around 90 to 100kg. New foamies would be lighter than my boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointed Reply Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 That is a heavy boat..We weighed a heap of Mk2 and Mk1 at tourney a few (10 ?) years ago.Platforms only...hulls, beams, tramp, rudders......excluding mast, boom, main sheet and sail.Most came in around 92kg. Heaviest was 104 kg.Lightest was Old Humungus at 87, next was old Pointed Reply at 88.Sweet 16 is less than that but not sure.The class minimum specification fully rigged ready to sail ( including mast and sail) is 95 kg.

humungus2 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Brisbane Catamaran Centre are putting a special offer together on New hulls to be anounced at the Nationals in a couple of weeks. They can go back to building them out of solid fibreglass to keep the cost down and try to keep the weight down but they will not be as light as a foamy. Any deal they come up with will be a big difference in price so it will be a min order of 10 hulls. I am prepared to take two to keep in stock. Keep that in mind when the price is announced. If we want the class to continue we need to get new boats on the water. At least we have a manufacturer that suports us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsay s Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Sounds good. I've found a port hull that weighs 32kg which I'll probably get, but I'm still interested in new hulls. Has briscat indicated what cost they'll be charging for a set of hulls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humungus2 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 The price is to be anounced at the nationals. I will pay the same price as you guys just to get the numbers up. 4 sets to go. Think hard and be quick to let me know. This is our chance to give the class a kick along. The prices will never be repeated. Soon to be anounced.
